What determines how fast a band saw can cut?
We have had a Cosen C-325NC saw that has been great for 10 years. It manages to keep up with our CNC lathes now, but we are about to double our production and this saw will not cut it.
Are column style saws going to allow us to cut faster? Should we find something with more HP? Just buy a second saw? Run it overnight and clean up the mess in the AM?
We cut 6061 round bars, 7-11" diameter, 10 hours a day, Lennox blade 1.25 X 0.042 - 2/3 TPI
