5 Benefits and Best Applications of Automatic Cold Saws

When you’re choosing a saw to add to your operations facility, you want to be sure that you’re selecting the ideal machinery for your application. You’ll also want to leverage the benefits of a product to boost efficiency and improve your bottom line. Automatic cold saws can increase workflow and are very versatile. Here we will give you some key data points on several kinds of automated cold saws that we both stock and sell.

What Are Automatic Cold Saws?

Cold saws are circular saws and unlike manual models, automatic cold saws can be operated using a CNC programmable controller. Cold saws earn their name because their circular, toothed blade removes material to make a cut, transferring the heat generated by the friction of cutting into the resulting chips. That allows both the blade and cut material to remain cool. Cold saws can also use liquid coolant to keep the cutting material cool.

These versatile tools are able to machine most ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, along with non-metal materials, like wood, plastic, and fiberglass. The following are examples of the types of metals that can be cut using an automatic cold saw:

• Aluminum
• Brass
• Copper
• Alloy steel
• Carbon steel
• Wrought iron
• Stainless steel

Allset Machinery offers automatic cold saws in a variety of sizes and styles, and the type that will work best for your production needs will depend heavily on the model’s ideal applications. Regardless of which model you choose, the ultimate goal is to select a cold saw that will provide optimum cutting performance while minimizing both set up and down time.

5 Best Applications for an Automatic Cold Saw

When deciding on the best automatic cold saw for your facility’s needs, there are quite a few considerations to keep in mind. Here are our top applications for this valuable piece of equipment:

• Cutting extruded metal tubing, rails, and pipes
• Sign manufacturing
• Goods manufacturing
• Cutting components for robotic welding
• Cutting large quantities or repetitive runs

Models vary, but often due to their large blade diameter cold saws offer a smaller work space and best accommodate thin, small-diameter material. If thicker or harder materials are in your production line, vertical column cold saws may be able to handle them. Because cold saws can create such clean cuts, they can be critical components in manufacturing window and door frames and other goods that require high levels of accuracy.

When selecting the best model for your workshop, you’ll want to take into account the cold saw’s overall size and specific dimensions, along with its range of cutting speeds and automated features. Allset Machinery is sure to include relevant product specifications in our online listings, but you can always feel free to get in touch for more information or with product questions.

5 Benefits of Using an Automated Cold Saw

Large-scale operations depend on speed and efficiency. The semi-auto cycling that cold saws offer require little more than pushing a button or foot pedal to achieve a host of benefits.

Cold saws typically utilize either a solid high-speed steel (HSS) or tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) blade, operated at low RPMs. Here are a few reasons why automated cold saws are a great addition to your operations:

• High-quality, dependably precise cuts without burrs are more like a “milled” finish and can typically be processed without additional finishing.
• Cold saws cut quickly but with minimal noise and effort, producing end results without sparks, discoloration, or dust.
• Automated cold saws feature programmable pressure settings for thin-walled material.
• Highly accurate blades boast a longer life and safer operation and can often be re-sharpened and reused multiple times, resulting in lower material costs and downtime along with increased productivity.
• Automated cold saws have a wide range of applications and cutting abilities.

An automatic cold saw is a great investment that can greatly diversify your shop’s capabilities. This machine is highly versatile and can often fill production gaps since operators are freed up to handle other tasks, which in turn increases overall efficiency and total potential output.
