Sterling SRA 230 DG Bandsaw: Compact, Robust, and Built for Precision
The Sterling SRA 230 DG Bandsaw, available exclusively through Selmach Machinery, is a compact yet robustly constructed machine designed to meet the demands of fabrication and engineering workshops. Featuring advanced functionality, precision engineering, and user-friendly operation, this bandsaw is the ideal choice for professionals seeking reliable performance in a wide variety of cutting applications.
Auto Down Feed Operation for Effortless Cutting
The SRA 230 DG is equipped with auto down feed operation, allowing operators to achieve precise and consistent cuts with minimal effort. The hydraulic gravity down feed system provides complete control over the speed of the blade drop, ensuring it matches the specific requirements of the material being cut. This level of control not only enhances accuracy but also improves blade longevity by preventing excessive wear and tear.
Double Mitring Design for Maximum Versatility
One of the standout features of the Sterling SRA 230 DG is its double mitring head design, which allows for effortless cutting of angles to both the left and right. Unlike traditional saws that require the material to be repositioned for angled cuts, this innovative design enables adjustments without the need to turn the workpiece over. This versatility makes the SRA 230 DG a time-saving solution for workshops handling complex or repetitive angled cuts.
Dual Blade Speeds for Cutting Mild and Stainless Steel
To accommodate a variety of materials, the Sterling SRA 230 DG Bandsaw offers two blade speeds as standard. These speeds are specifically calibrated to provide optimal cutting performance for both mild steel and stainless steel. This flexibility ensures that the saw can handle a wide range of applications with ease, making it a versatile asset for fabrication shops, engineering facilities, and industrial operations.
Built-In Flood Coolant System for Cleaner Cuts
The integrated flood coolant system is a critical feature of the SRA 230 DG, designed to enhance both cutting quality and blade longevity. The coolant prevents overheating during operation, reducing the risk of blade warping or premature wear. By maintaining a cooler cutting environment, the system ensures cleaner, burr-free cuts, minimising the need for post-cut finishing. This feature is particularly valuable for workshops aiming to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
Automatic Blade Stop for Safer Operation
Safety is a top priority in the design of the SRA 230 DG. The automatic blade stop feature halts blade rotation immediately after a cut is completed, reducing the risk of accidents and enabling safer interaction between operators and the machine. This thoughtful safety measure not only protects workers but also prolongs the life of the blade by preventing unnecessary spinning.
Perfect for a Variety of Profiles
The Sterling SRA 230 DG is highly versatile, making it suitable for cutting a range of profiles, including:
- Round sections
- Square sections
- Rectangular sections
This adaptability ensures that the saw can meet the diverse needs of fabrication shops, from creating custom components to producing high-precision structural elements. Its compact footprint makes it an excellent choice for workshops with limited space, while its robust construction ensures reliability and consistent performance.
