At Selmach, we supply an extensive portfolio of industrial sawing machinery engineered to meet the demands of modern fabrication, engineering, and production environments. Whether you’re cutting mild steel, stainless, aluminium, or non-ferrous materials, we offer machines suited to your application, material dimensions, and production volumes—backed by expert advice and nationwide support.
Horizontal Bandsaws
Horizontal bandsaws remain the preferred solution for straight-cutting operations across most fabrication settings. Our range spans from compact entry-level units to heavy-duty CNC systems for high-volume, automated production. Machines are classified by automation level:
Manual Horizontal Bandsaws
Designed for low-volume and general-purpose use, manual models like the Sterling Swift series offer dependable performance for workshops handling occasional cutting. Gravity or pull-down feed provides a simple but effective operation, suitable for single cuts or small batch work.
Semi-Automatic Horizontal Bandsaws
Ideal for medium-volume environments, semi-automatic saws include hydraulic vice clamping and automatic bow return. These features improve cycle times and reduce operator fatigue, allowing efficient multitasking during each cut cycle.
Fully Automatic Horizontal Bandsaws
Our automatic saws provide complete cycle control. Operators can program material length and quantity, allowing unattended operation—ideal for batch cutting and repetitive workflows. Available in pivot action or twin-column configurations, these saws offer enhanced rigidity and accuracy, particularly for larger profiles and tougher materials.
CNC Horizontal Bandsaws
For precision-driven, high-throughput cutting, CNC bandsaws are the optimal choice. Capable of storing multiple cutting programs with variable lengths and angles, these machines significantly reduce manual input. When paired with optional bundle loaders and powered roller conveyors, they form a comprehensive automated cutting cell suitable for 24/7 operation. View the entire range of bandsaws.
Specialist Bandsaws
As well as our range of bandsaws of varying levels of automation, we are also able to offer specialist solutions for unique use-cases.
One such option is the BTM TT 350 Semi-Automatic Rebar Bandsaw– a semi-automatic bandsaw for cutting rebar. BTM is a sister brand to Bianco, typically for their larger capacity machines featuring all of the heavy-duty ruggedness you would expect.
Another specialist solution is the Sterling GTC 2200 Gantry type Horizontal Bandsaw for cutting extremely large capacities of up to 2200mm wide!
Vertical Bandsaws
Often associated with woodworking, vertical bandsaws also have vital applications in metal fabrication. They enable intricate profile cuts, radii, and curves that are not possible with horizontal saws. Commonly used in toolrooms and by prototype fabricators, these machines are invaluable when material geometry cannot be achieved through conventional straight cutting.
Circular Saws
Circular saws are the industry standard for fast, clean cutting of small-diameter tube, bar, and box section. With a rigid cutting head and high-speed operation, they produce minimal burr and thermal distortion. Our range includes manual pull-down and semi-automatic models, ideal for repetitive short-cut applications where speed and surface finish are key factors.
Selecting the Right Sawing Solution
Choosing the appropriate machine depends on several key factors:
- Material type and size
- Cutting volume and cycle time expectations
- Required level of automation
- Space and operator availability
- Integration with existing workflow (e.g. conveyors, loaders)
At Selmach, we assist engineers, production managers, and procurement professionals in matching the right machine to their operational needs—ensuring performance, longevity, and cost-efficiency.
