What is it for?

The IMET BS 300 PLUS band saw is designed for cutting metal materials, especially steel and cast iron, in small and medium-sized production runs. It's ideal for machine shops and light metalworking shops, allowing for precise cuts at various angles (up to 60° left and 45° right).

Components and Construction

The saw is composed of:

• Rigid Cast Iron Frame : Ensures stability during cutting.
• Band Saw Blade : Precision blade supported by carbide bearings and guides for alignment and durability.
• 320mm Pulleys : Reduces stress on the blade, improving cutting accuracy.
• Cooling System : Tank and electric pump integrated into the machine base.
• Manual Vice : Adjustable for angled cuts, with guides that facilitate positioning and quick gripping of the material.

Existing Types

There are several variants of the BS 300 PLUS:

• Manual : Basic version with manual cutting.
• Semi-Automatic : With partial automatic functions, such as power supply and speed regulation via inverter.
• With Minimum Lubrication : Optional system that reduces lubricant consumption and improves blade life.

When to Use It

This saw is useful for applications requiring precise cuts on metal materials in small to medium production settings. It is suitable for metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and manufacturing environments where flexibility in angle cuts is required.

Workable Materials

The BS 300 PLUS is capable of cutting steel, cast iron, aluminium and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials, thanks to the blade speed adjustment that allows it to adapt to different hardnesses and cross-sections of the materials.

Formulas and Calculations for Optimal Use

Some important formulas to optimize use include:

• Cutting Speed ​​(Vc) : Vc=π×D×N1000 $V$ $c$ $=$ 1000 π × D × N ​where D $D$ is the blade diameter and N $N$ is the speed in rpm.
• Feed per Tooth (fz) : fz=Vfn×Z $f$ $z$ $=$ n × Z V f ​where Vf $V$ $f$ is the feed rate, n $n$ the number of revolutions and Z $Z$ the number of teeth.
• Blade Tension : Blade tension is maintained at around 1700 kg/cm², to ensure straight, vibration-free cuts.

How to Choose a Good Used Car

When buying used, check:

• Frame Condition : Must be free of cracks or signs of excessive wear.
• Blade and Pulley Condition : The blade should have no missing or worn teeth, and the pulleys should be aligned and free from corrosion.
• Motor Functionality : Make sure the motor runs without abnormal noises and the speed can be adjusted smoothly.
• Replaced Components : The presence of new components, such as the ammeter and power button, is a good sign of regular maintenance.

Why It's Worth Buying Used

Purchasing a used saw, such as the IMET BS 300 PLUS, is a convenient way to reduce initial costs while maintaining high performance. This machine is robust and, if properly maintained, offers a long service life at a lower cost than a new one.

Main Sectors of Use

This saw is widely used in:

• Mechanical Workshops
• Metal Carpentry
• Metal Processing Centers
• Production of Metal Components

This versatility makes it an indispensable tool for those working in the metalworking sector.
