Precision Cutting Meets Industrial Durability

Variable Speed 82-259 FPM | 60-90° Swivel Head | 10" Round Capacity | Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Construction

When your fabrication shop demands precise cuts across diverse materials and angles, the Acra BS-250VS horizontal bandsaw delivers the versatility and reliability that keeps production moving. This isn't just another cutting tool—it's the foundation of efficient material processing that transforms raw stock into precisely dimensioned components ready for your next operation.

Variable Speed Control for Every Material

82 to 259 feet per minute variable blade speed adapts to your material requirements, from soft aluminum that demands higher speeds to hardened steel requiring slower, controlled cutting. This speed range eliminates the guesswork and material waste that comes from one-size-fits-all cutting speeds, ensuring optimal blade life and superior cut quality across your entire material inventory.

Versatile Capacity for Complex Fabrication

10-inch round capacity at 90 degrees handles substantial solid stock, while the swivel head capability enables 8.5-inch round cuts at 45 degrees for precise angle work. Rectangular capacity of 10" x 15" at 90 degrees accommodates substantial structural materials, reducing to 10" x 9.5" at 45 degrees for angled cuts on beam and channel stock.

The 60 to 90-degree swivel base provides full mitering capability, eliminating secondary operations and reducing material handling time between cutting and assembly.

Precision Positioning and Clamping

Quick positioning clamping vise with fully adjustable jaws secures materials of varying sizes and shapes with consistent pressure. The rapid action vise design reduces setup time between cuts while ensuring secure workpiece positioning that prevents movement during cutting operations.

Professional blade guides with carbide tungsten construction, supported by bridge-type portable frame design, maintain precise blade tracking and extend blade life through consistent support and reduced deflection.

Intelligent Cutting Control

Fully adjustable hydraulic down feed with separate on/off valve provides precise feed rate control that matches cutting conditions to material hardness and blade selection. This system prevents aggressive feeding that damages blades while avoiding slow feeds that cause premature blade dulling.

Built-in coolant system with distribution through blade guides extends blade life and improves cut quality by managing heat buildup during extended cutting operations. The removable chip tray simplifies cleanup and maintenance, keeping your work area clean and organized.

Heavy-Duty Construction for Continuous Operation

Cast iron construction provides the mass and rigidity needed for vibration-free cutting that produces smooth, accurate cuts. At 1,060 pounds, this bandsaw has the stability to handle production cutting without the chatter and deviation that lighter machines experience under load.

The 2 HP main motor delivers consistent power across the full speed range, maintaining cutting performance even in demanding materials and extended production runs.

Operator-Focused Design Features

Centralized control panel puts all operational controls within easy reach, reducing operator movement and improving cutting efficiency. Low voltage control with overload protection ensures safe operation while protecting the motor from damage due to overload conditions.

Large handwheel with built-in gauge provides easy blade tensioning with visual confirmation of proper tension. Consistent blade tension is critical for cut accuracy and blade life, and this system makes proper setup simple and repeatable.

Self-propelled blade brush keeps the blade clean during operation, preventing chip buildup that causes premature blade wear and poor cut quality.

Professional Installation Requirements

220/440V AC three-phase power requirement ensures consistent motor performance and efficiency suitable for industrial environments. The electrical flexibility allows adaptation to existing shop power configurations.

68" x 30" x 44.5" floor space requirement fits into most shop layouts while providing the working envelope needed for handling substantial materials efficiently.

What This Means for Your Fabrication Operations

The BS-250VS transforms material preparation from a time-consuming bottleneck into an efficient production process. Precise cuts reduce downstream machining requirements, while the swivel head capability eliminates secondary operations for angled cuts.

Variable speed control and hydraulic feed adjustment enable optimization for each material and application, maximizing blade life while maintaining cut quality. The combination saves money on consumables while improving part quality and production throughput.
