$1651.00
Professional Performance for Metal Fabrication
The Baileigh BS-712M is a cornerstone tool for any fabrication shop, offering the reliability needed for precise metal cutting. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, we recommend the following professional maintenance and setup practices.
Expert Setup and Maintenance Tips
Clamping Optimization: While the stock manual vise is designed for standard operations, heavy-duty production cycles may benefit from supplemental clamping techniques. Regularly inspect the vise threads and keep them lubricated to maintain smooth operation and prevent premature wear.
Blade Maintenance: For efficient blade changes, ensure the tension is fully released before accessing the blade door. If you find the door mechanism stiff, a light application of machine oil on the hinges can significantly improve accessibility.
Material Handling: Due to the machine's compact footprint, we recommend mounting the saw on a custom-built riser or a heavy-duty shop stand. This elevates the work surface to a standard ergonomic height, allowing for better integration with roller stands to ensure material remains perfectly level during long cuts.
Hydraulic System Care: The hydraulic feed cylinder provides consistent down-feed pressure. To extend its service life, avoid forcing the bow down manually. If you notice a change in descent speed, check for air bubbles in the system and bleed the cylinder according to the maintenance manual to ensure smooth, controlled operation.
