CNC Saw Cutting

What Is Saw Cutting?

Saw cutting is a foundational process in manufacturing where mechanized blades precisely cut through materials like metal, wood, or plastic. Unlike laser or waterjet cutting, saw cutting uses a hard, sharp blade that physically cuts through the material, leaving behind clean edges and minimal material waste. Precision saw cutting is ideal for creating beams, tubes, pipes, and bars with exact dimensions, making them ready for the next step in structural steel fabrication processes.

At Infra-Metals, our CNC saw cutting services are powered by advanced band saws designed to cut through substrates of various thicknesses and specifications. Learn more about the benefits of CNC saw cutting, common applications, and our specific capabilities.

Benefits of CNC Saw Cutting Machines

CNC saw cutting machines bring a host of benefits that boost manufacturing efficiency and precision. At Infra-Metals, our CNC saw cutting machines offer the following advantages to our processes and end products:

• Maximum productivity. Our CNC saw cutting machines streamline operations by automating material infeed and outfeed. The saw cutting process is also easy to integrate into other processes, such as drilling and milling. This keeps production running smoothly with minimal downtime and greatly reduces manual handling and setup times.
• Minimize downtime. Our machines minimize downtime by using advanced automation and smart features. Automated tooling alerts aid preventive maintenance, and auto tool height measurements reduce loading time. The self-cleaning table design minimizes cleaning time, and modular table slats also speed up changeout.
• Speed and accuracy. We can send our nesting programs directly to our CNC saw cutters to help operators process orders quickly and accurately. Our operators configure the process through a large LCD touchscreen. These features allow us to cut materials more efficiently than our competitors.
• Durability. Infra-Metals’ CNC saw cutting machines are durable by design. They use a solid one-piece welded gantry that can handle tough industrial environments. The heavy-duty components and frame offer stability and reduced vibration, which results in better cutting quality. It has floor-mounted rails equipped with protective measures to extend the machine’s lifespan.

CNC Saw Cutting Machine Applications

Saw cutting services are suitable for a variety of workpieces and end applications, such as:

• Cutting down stock metals. Saw cutting services are primarily for cutting large stock metal pieces into smaller workpieces. From heavy-duty structural steel beams to sleek stainless steel pipes, every saw cut out is clean and precise. Our saw cutting machines optimize material usage and minimize waste.
• Mitre cutting. CNC band saw machines provide automated mitre cutting for steel beams, tubes, angles, and pipes. Our band saw has a rotating head that allows the operator to adjust the precise angle of the cut. Mounted to a heavy-duty frame, the band saw comes with advanced ball screw spindles and servo motors for optimal speed, quality, efficiency, and throughput.
• Making straight edges. At Infra-Metals, our saw cutting machines can create straight edges on various metal components. This ensures our customers get parts with the straight, precise edges they need for their final assemblies.
• Bevel cutting. Bevels are angled or sloped surfaces at the edge of a metal workpiece. Saw cutting can create these beveled edges to facilitate welding and assembly in various projects. 
• Creating grooves. Our CNC saw cutting machines can also create controlled and precise grooves in metal components.

Saw Cutting from Infra-Metals

At Infra-Metals, our saw cutting services use advanced automation and machinery to keep up with the demands of modern manufacturing and construction projects. With CNC saws and nesting programs, we produce precise cut-to-length pieces with very little material waste. Our equipment uses a system of transfer tables, roller conveyors, and automated infeed and outfeed processes to streamline production. Our nesting programs typically process single pieces at a time, but we have the flexibility to cut stock bundles if needed. 

As a result, Infra-Metals offers competitive pricing and high accuracy on all saw cutting projects for complete customer satisfaction. Request a quote to get started on your saw cutting solution.
