DC-1100SA, DC-1700SA Semiautomatic Bandsaws

April 15, 2016

DoALL has added two larger capacity dual-column, semiautomatic bandsaws to its Continental series product line. The DoALL DC-1100SA offers semiautomatic capacities on rectangles at 43.3″x43.3″ (1,100mm x 1,100mm) and the DC-1700SA (pictured) boasts a rectangle capacity of 67″x51.2″ (1,700mm x 1,300mm).

Both the DoALL DC-1100SA and DC-1700SA horizontal bandsaws are ideal if you need a high-production bandsaw but have operations that do not require indexing or automatic cutting cycles. The proven feed system from DoALL increases blade life and cutting accuracy as the operator is not manually pressuring or overloading the saw blade during the cut, according to the company.

    sawing machine ( saw)

    Machine designed to use a serrated-tooth blade to cut metal or other material. Comes in a wide variety of styles but takes one of four basic forms: hacksaw (a simple, rugged machine that uses a reciprocating motion to part metal or other material); cold or circular saw (powers a circular blade that cuts structural materials); bandsaw (runs an endless band; the two basic types are cutoff and contour band machines, which cut intricate contours and shapes); and abrasive cutoff saw (similar in appearance to the cold saw, but uses an abrasive disc that rotates at high speeds rather than a blade with serrated teeth).
