Bidirectional Miter Cutting for Metal Profiles & Structural Sections
Double-Miter Band Saw Machines for Straight & Angled Metal Cutting
Double-miter band saw machines are designed for accurate straight and angled cutting in both directions without repeatedly repositioning long or heavy workpieces. The range supports bars, tubes, profiles, beams and structural sections for fabrication and general metal-processing applications.
Double-miter band saw machines combine a rotating saw head with a rigid cutting structure to perform 90° cuts and miter cuts to the left and right. This is particularly useful when long sections, beams or profiles require several cutting angles while material handling must be minimized. Depending on the selected configuration, machines may be manual, semi-automatic or NC-controlled. Available equipment can include hydraulic clamping, adjustable blade speed, controlled cutting pressure, digital angle indication, blade tensioning systems and material roller tables. The appropriate machine should be selected according to the material profile, maximum section size, required cutting angles, material grade, production volume and preferred level of automation. Cutting capacity reduces at angled positions, so the required angle and cross-section should always be confirmed before quotation.
What Is a Double-Miter Band Saw?
A double-miter band saw is a horizontal band sawing machine designed to perform straight cuts and angled cuts in both directions by rotating the saw head. The concept reduces the need to turn or reposition long workpieces when alternating between left-hand and right-hand miter cuts.
Typical Workpieces
- Solid metal bars
- Round and square tubes
- Rectangular and structural profiles
- Beams and structural steel sections
- Fabricated sections requiring repeated angle cuts
Operating Configurations
- Manual configurations for flexible workshop cutting
- Semi-automatic configurations with hydraulic functions to simplify the cutting cycle
- NC-controlled configurations for applications requiring programmable or more repeatable operation
- Exact automation level and functions depend on the selected machine configuration
Key Functions & Available Equipment
- Rotating saw head for straight and bidirectional miter cutting
- Hydraulic clamping on applicable configurations
- Adjustable blade speed according to material and blade requirements
- Controlled cutting pressure / feed for stable sawing

Questions we are asked
What is the main advantage of a double-miter band saw?
It can perform straight and angled cuts in both directions by rotating the saw head, reducing the need to reposition long or heavy workpieces.
What materials and profiles can it cut?
The range is intended for solid bars, tubes, profiles, beams and structural metal sections. The exact material grade and section must be matched to the blade and selected machine configuration.
What is the available capacity at 90°?
Across the described range, round capacity is approximately Ø230 to Ø750 mm, rectangular capacity is approximately 310 × 130 mm up to 1,300 × 750 mm, and square capacity is 230 × 230 mm up to 750 × 750 mm.
Can it cut angles in both directions?
Yes. Double-miter configurations are intended for left- and right-hand miter cutting. Available angles can reach up to 60° in one direction and 45° in the opposite direction depending on the selected configuration.
Is the angled cutting capacity the same as the 90° capacity?
No. Cutting capacity decreases at angled positions and must be checked against the required profile and angle.
Are automatic versions available?
The described range can include manual, semi-automatic and NC-controlled configurations. The exact functions depend on the selected machine.
What should I send to request a quotation?
Send the material profile, dimensions, grade, required angles, cut lengths, production quantity and preferred automation level.
