The two main differences between high-speed circular saws and band saws.

Althoughhigh-speed circular sawsthere is only one character difference between high-speed circular saws and band saws, but there are significant differences in function, cutting methods, and cutting materials. We will tell you the differences between the two, hoping to be helpful to you.

1. Different cutting methods

High-speed circular saws use circular saw blades for cutting, while band saws use saw blades. Due to the deep and hard tooth shape of the circular saw blade, high-speed circular saws are particularly suitable for cutting copper, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. Band saws are suitable for cutting steel, but not soft metals like copper and aluminum.

2. Different basic structures

High-speed circular saws, also known ashigh-speed circular saws, are divided into fully automatic and semi-automatic. The circular saw blade performs a rotary cutting motion while feeding into the saw box. High-speed circular saws are classified into horizontal, vertical, and swing types based on the feeding direction of the saw blade. In addition, there are various specialized high-speed circular saws, such as large casting cutting, pouring, and riser swing saws; saw-drill combination machine tools for rail sawing and drilling.

Band saws are mainly vertical and horizontal. The saw frame of a vertical band saw is set vertically. During the cutting process, the workpiece moves to cut the curved profiles of sheet metal and formed parts. The saw band can also be replaced with a file chain or sanding belt for filing or grinding. The saw frame of a horizontal band saw is arranged horizontally or inclined, feeding in the vertical direction or swinging around a pivot point. The saw band is usually twisted 40° to keep the teeth vertical to the workpiece.

In recent years, the development of CNC woodworking band saws has been remarkable, especially the competition among various model manufacturers has made the industry more mature and complete. Today we discuss the future development trends of CNC woodworking band saws.

CNC woodworking band saw processing:

(1) Development of new technologies for CNC woodworking band saws

Foreign band saws are developing towards larger sizes and multiple connections. The automation of the running car, the intelligence of the lower saw, and the large band saws seem to be the overall development trend. The double band saws on the same side have almost replaced the side-by-side arrangement of double band saws. Its characteristic is that wood manufacturing is developing towards automation. Lower saw optimization software has become popular, and all cutting running cars have optimization functions, with electronic eyes for log shape recognition becoming increasingly sophisticated. It has achieved full automation from upper wood, log shape recognition, lower cutting optimization, running car control, lower cutting to wood cutting classification.

(2) Technical development of fine woodworking band saws

The development of fine woodworking band saws has become very mature. The function of cutting bevels with fine woodworking band saws has formed products. To improve accuracy, the processing quality of fine woodworking band saws is getting higher and higher. The rapid development of woodworking band saws is the curve saw band saws. CNC curve band saws are generally divided into two modes: saw blade flipping and saw body rotation.

(3) Technical development of high-speed circular saws

The development scale of modern multi-blade high-speed circular saws is relatively large. Static pressure guided multi-bladehigh-speed circular sawshas changed the problem of unadjustable circular saw spacing on the CNC adjustment surface, achieving automation of board edge trimming and optimization of longitudinal edge trimming. Another development direction of edge cutting is the use of reciprocating panel saws for rough edge cutting. The feeding speed of circular saws with better cross-sections is greater than 80m/min, and some advanced swing gauge high-speed circular saws abroad have greatly improved edge cutting accuracy. Combining push table saws with reciprocating panel saws forms a new type of push table reciprocating panel saw.
