Amada saws can be classified into several types based on the operation, size, usage, etc. Deluxe and Pro versions also exist for some of the types, which relate to more advanced versions. Below is a list of some of the most popular types:
Bandsaw
The band saws use a long, continuous band of steel with teeth (a bandsaw blade) on the top and bottom which is driven by pulleys. The blade is manufactured in different materials based on the operational needs. For instance, carbon steel blades are used for general cutting while bimetal blades are used for more intensive cuts. Amada bandsaws are known for their precision and can cut wood, metal, and meat.
Table Saws
It is a round saw with a blade mounted on an engine-driven table and used for cutting wood. It can make longitudinal and cross cuts and bevel cuts. Also, it is known for the type of wood it cuts – it cuts long pieces of wood. It is one of the most popular saws in any workshop.
Circular Saws
These saws have a toothed wheel that gives them a circular appearance. They are dictated by the nature of their teeth – coarse teeth circular saws are used for rough work with large wood pieces, while fine-teeth circular saws are used for work with particle boards and plywood. There are also toothed wheels with tungsten carbide tips for cutting chipboard and plastics.
Sabre Saws
The blade of this saw can be replaced. It is mainly used for irregular cuts in wood, metal, and plastics. The strength of its blades makes it ideal for cutting materials in different shapes and thicknesses.
Horizontal Band Saws
They are designed for cutting metal. Their horizontal position allows them to make precise cuts on materials like steel and aluminum. They are driven by pulleys. Because these saws can cut materials to the correct shape, they are preferred when cutting metals for specific tasks. They condition the material before the shaping process.
Jigsaw
These saws are lightweight and portable. They are suitable for making curved cuts. Their blades are adjustable which allows cutting at different depths. They are ideal for cutting wood and metal sheets. Cutting requires flexibility and therefore this flexibility is suitable for cutting materials into specific shapes.
Reciprocating Saws
They are intended for demolition and used to cut through walls and other structures. They are powerful and ideal for cutting wood and metal during construction and deconstruction work.
Every product has its features, and the Amada saws have the following features:
Blade Technology
In Amada saws, blade selection is very important. A saw blade is designed for specific cutting tasks. The blades are made with various materials to accommodate cutting metal, wood, and other materials. The *bimetal blade* is one of the most popular due to its flexibility and toughness. The carbide-tipped blades can handle abrasive materials to achieve a long lifespan.
Inverter Drive System
The inverter drive system controls the blade speed and torque according to the material to be cut. Such variability enables optimal cutting for various materials while reducing power consumption. This ensures precise cuts with less heat generation on *Amada band saws*.
Automatic Feed System
Many Amada saws have an automatic feed system to enhance productivity. This system automatically adjusts the feed rate based on the material’s density and thickness. This results in consistent precision and reduced operator intervention.
Hybrid Technology
Some Amada saws combine the advantages of bandsaw and circular saw cutting methods. This is called hybrid technology. It leverages the precision of the bandsaw and the speed of the circular saw. They are ideal for achieving high precision in a diverse range of materials while improving efficiency.
Intelligent CNC Controls
Amada saws employ CNC controls to allow the user to control cutting processes. Through these controls, the user can program specific cutting patterns, adjust cutting speed and feed rate, and monitor several operations. This contributes to high precision and repeatability.
Construction of High Durability
Amada saws are built with materials of high durability and with cutting-edge technology to achieve long-term performance. There is a focus on the robustness of the blade and saw frames as well as key components to ensure they withstand intensive cutting operations.
Amada saws have a wide commercial application and are used to cut various materials, depending on the saw type. Here are some typical commercial uses:
Metalworking Industry
Horizontal and vertical band saws are widely used in the metalworking industry for cutting various metals, including steel, aluminum, and brass. They are called precision-saws because of their ability to make straight cuts with less wastage. It is also used to cut metal into specific sizes and shapes in order to prepare them for further machining or fabrication processes.
Woodworking Industry
Table saws, circular saws, and jigsaws are used widely in the woodworking industry. They cut lumber, plywood, and other wood materials to specifications in order to make furniture, cabinetry, and other wood products. An Amada compound miter saw, for example, can make intricate cuts for moldings and trim.
Construction Industry
Amada saws are used for cutting materials in the construction industry. Reciprocating saws in particular are used for demolition and remodeling projects. They cut wood and metal framing, drywall, and other materials. They are essential for the installation process regarding roofing, flooring, and other applications.
Plastics Industry
Amada saws especially the circular and bandsaws are used to cut various plastic sheets and blocks. This enables fabrication of plastic components for use in packaging, electronics, and several other products. The versatility of the saws makes them ideal for cutting plastic with precision and speed.
Aerospace and Automotive Industries
In the aerospace and automotive industries, Amada saws are used to cut materials like composites, titanium, and other heat-treated alloys. This is particularly demanding in the *bi-metal band saw blades* which can withstand cutting these hard and often complex materials.
Tool and Die Making
Amada saws are important in making tools and dies because they cut metals and other materials to precise dimensions required in making molds, dies, and tooling for manufacturing. This precision ensures that end products were achieved with the desired functionality.
There are many factors one has to consider to choose Amada saws so that they meet the operational requirements. Here are some key considerations:
Material
Consider what materials the saw will cut. For cutting metal, for example, choose a bandsaw or horizontal saw. They are effective on hard materials. A table saw, circular saw, or jigsaw may be suitable to cut wood.
Type of Cut
Different *Amada saws* are designed to make different cuts. If one needs to make straight cuts, a band saw or table saw may be the most appropriate cut. For curved cuts in wood or metal, a jigsaw or reciprocating saw may be preferable. It is essential to consider the cutting needs – crosscutting, ripping, or not cutting at all.
Power and Speed
The saw power determines cutting capability; the saw's blade speed is important too. General cuts may require lower speed, but high speed is required for detail work. More powerful saws are capable of cutting dense materials. For light work, a less powerful saw will work well.
Saw Size and Portability
The size may be important depending on the work space available. For confined work space, portability may be important – portable saws like reciprocating saws and jigsaws can work in almost any space. Amada band saws and Table Saws can fit in a *workshop* and are not portable.
Budget
There are many saws on the market today, and the project requirement will dictate if a budget-friendly option is preferred over a high academic saw. Saws vary in prices depending on the make and model, portable electric saws are generally cheaper than band saws or table mastering saws.
Advanced Features
Consider any additional features one may need in an Amada saw. Automatic feed, adjustable speed, and even smart technology features could increase the saw's efficiency and ease of use. Advanced features can also be useful for projects that require quick completion with high accuracy.
