Sterling STC DGSA NC Twin-Column Semi-Automatic Bandsaw 415v
Sterling’s range of bandsaws are one of the leading brands in the metal cutting world. The STC DGSA NC range features semi-automatic applications, including a NC PLC Controller, double-mitring and automatic bow descent and rise. The NC Controller allows you to select the mitre angle, for increased accuracy and efficiency.
Variable vice pressure and a moveable blade guide arm means the saw can be adjusted to suit a wide variety of material sizes and material wall thickness. Ideally suited for working with structural steel, this saw is recommended to be paired with heavy-duty, motorised roller track for easier material handling and feeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Sterling STC DGSA NC Twin Column designed for?
The Sterling STC DGSA NC Twin Column is intended for structural steel fabricators cutting large sections at repeat angles. Its main distinguishing features include 440, 560, 650 and 750 DGSA NC sizes and double mitring with NC angle selection. Selmach can help confirm suitability against your actual material and production requirements.
2. What cutting capacity does the Sterling STC DGSA NC Twin Column offer?
The published product range includes 440, 560, 650 and 750 DGSA NC sizes. Actual capacity depends on the chosen model, material shape and cutting angle. Check the product specification table at the intended mitre angle before ordering.
3. Can the Sterling STC DGSA NC Twin Column cut angles?
Its cutting arrangement provides double mitring with NC angle selection. The available capacity reduces or changes at some angles, so check the relevant round, square or rectangular rating for the chosen machine.
4. How does the semi-automatic cutting cycle work?
This is a semi-automatic bandsaw: the operator positions the stock and initiates the cutting process, while the machine automates part of the cutting cycle. It is not the same as a fully automatic stock-feeding saw. The precise bow-return and clamping sequence should be confirmed for the selected model.
5. How is material held securely during cutting?
The published configuration includes NC PLC control for mitre angle and semi-automatic cutting cycle. Correct clamping and appropriate stock support are important for cut quality, particularly when cutting longer sections or mitred components.
6. Which blades and cutting settings should I use?
The machine offers variable vice pressure and moveable blade guide arm. Blade tooth pitch, blade grade, feed pressure and coolant choice should be matched to material grade, wall thickness and section size. Selmach can advise on suitable blades and consumables.
7. What maintenance does the Sterling STC DGSA NC Twin Column require?
Routine care includes checking blade condition and tension, cleaning swarf, monitoring coolant and inspecting guides, vice operation and hydraulic components where fitted. Follow the manufacturer maintenance schedule and isolate the machine before maintenance.
8. Does Selmach offer service plans for the Sterling STC DGSA NC Twin Column?
Selmach can discuss preventative maintenance and service-plan options for this bandsaw. Plan availability, visits, response arrangements and exclusions should be confirmed in a quotation; servicing is not automatically included with the machine unless stated in the order.
