Behringer has introduced their new high performance HBP-610A bandsaw for cutting large pipes and solid materials up to 24 inches in diameter.

The saw has a dual column design with a cast iron frame, and uses positive hydraulic downfeed with a heavy-duty gearbox and a high horsepower motor. The solid cast bow frame is designed to eliminate vibration and provide rigid support for blade tensioning.

These design features provide controlled downfeed power helping to make accurate cuts with tight tolerances.

The dual column downfeed is superior to swing frame and vertical systems because it assures uniform downfeed pressure across the blade with no leverage points, said Joe Suydam, an inside sales engineer with the company. The cutting path is shorter and therefore cutting is faster and more efficient.

Suydam also said the new saw features constant chip load removal, which facilitates high downfeed rates. This creates a smoother, more even surface on cut pieces.

The equipment was developed particularly for the North American market, with the idea of bandsawing of pipes from 0.75 to 24 in diameter the range of pipes commonly used in the natural gas and oil production industries.
