Introduction: Why Saw Blade Milling Technology Matters

In industrial metal cutting, the difference between average output and world-class performance often comes down to the machinery you choose. When it comes to saw blade milling, the precision of each tooth, the stability of the milling process, and the reliability of the machine all directly impact production speed, blade longevity, and final cut quality. This is where LeonMachinery’s B240M and FS1500 saw blade milling machines dominate the market.

These machines are not just tools — they’re production platforms built for high efficiency, long-term durability, and unmatched quality. Used by some of the world’s leading saw and blade manufacturers, they have earned their place as industry benchmarks.

The B240M: A Flagship in Saw Blade Milling

The B240M is not just large; it’s a powerhouse designed for heavy-duty, high-precision work. Equipped with the Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl control system and optimized Siemens servo drive units, it brings automation, connectivity, and operational stability to new heights.

This model is designed to mill profiles for a wide range of bandsaw blades — from carbon steel and bimetal to carbide-tipped varieties — with a band width of up to 125 mm and a TPI (teeth per inch) range from 32 down to 0.5. The versatility is staggering.

Technical Superiority: Inside the B240M

  • Maximum Band Width: Up to 125 mm

  • Power: 45 kW (S6 40%) — serious muscle for heavy-duty milling

  • Max RPM: 450 revolutions per minute

  • Max Tool Width: 240 mm (depending on tool taper and rake angle)

  • Milling Arbor: HSK 125B type for secure, high-precision tool holding

  • Control: Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl for full CNC integration

  • Clamping System: Zero-loss, servo-driven leveling system

  • Max Packet Width: 60 mm — allows simultaneous multi-blade milling

  • Dimensions (L×W×H): 7400 × 7800 × 2550 mm

  • Weight: ~16,000 kg

  • Options: Tip height measurement device, advanced pay-off/take-up coiling systems, extended remote connectivity and data monitoring features.

Productivity Without Compromise

The B240M was designed to shorten cycle times without sacrificing precision. Each movement of the milling head, each clamping action, and each data-driven feed adjustment is optimized for both speed and consistency.

Its automatic feed milling capability ensures teeth are formed with perfect geometry — every single time. The result? Sharper blades, cleaner cuts, longer life spans, and a serious boost to your bottom line.

The FS1500: Compact, Capable, and Cost-Effective

While the B240M is the heavyweight champion, the FS1500 is the nimble, highly capable specialist for carbon and bimetal bandsaw blades. It can handle band widths up to 80 mm and TPI ranges from 32 to 1.4, making it perfect for a variety of production lines that demand precision without the massive footprint.

Equipped with the same Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control system and high-quality Siemens drives, the FS1500 delivers tight tolerance control, quiet operation, and excellent repeatability.

Built for Safety and the Modern Shop Floor

Both the B240M and FS1500 come in fully enclosed designs, offering:

  • Reduced noise emissions

  • Cleaner working environments

  • Maximum operator safety

  • Minimal maintenance downtime

The mechanical structure is engineered for long-term rigidity. Combine that with optional horizontal and vertical coiling devices and automatic feed-out systems, and you get fully automated, operator-free production capability.

Milling Capabilities: Materials & Applications

These machines are built to handle:

  • Carbon steel bandsaw blades — for general-purpose cutting

  • Bimetal bandsaw blades — for harder materials and long-lasting edge performance

  • Carbide-tipped bandsaw blades — for extreme cutting conditions and wear resistance

In addition, they can also produce other saw products from bandsaw materials, including:

  • Vertical saws

  • Reciprocating saws

  • Multi-tool blades

  • Specialized cutting tools for industrial applications

Why Leading Manufacturers Choose the B240M

The B240M is already in service with some of the world’s largest and most advanced saw blade manufacturers. Here’s why:

  • Unmatched precision in tooth profile milling

  • Flexible compatibility with different blade materials and profiles

  • Durability — heavy-duty design for continuous operation

  • Automation-ready — from remote monitoring to automated material handling

Performance Benchmarks That Set the Standard

One of the standout specs is its clamping width of up to 60 mm, which allows for processing multiple blades simultaneously — a key factor for mass production environments. Combined with its 310 mm tool width capability, the machine’s throughput potential is exceptional.

Smart Technology for the Smart Factory

The most advanced operation system in the industry isn’t just about programming; it’s about connectivity and integration. Remote monitoring, extended data analysis, and the ability to connect to smart factory networks make these machines future-ready.

Key Questions Answered

1. What materials can the B240M handle?
Carbon steel, bimetal, and carbide-tipped bandsaw materials.

2. What’s the maximum TPI it can mill?
From 32 TPI down to 0.5 TPI.

3. Can it make other saw products?
Yes — vertical saws, reciprocating saws, multi-tool blades, and more.

4. Is the B240M the only milling machine for saw blades LeonMachinery offers?
No — we also supply profiling machines, straightening machines, coiling systems, and more.

5. Can it produce carbide-tipped blades?
Yes — many top manufacturers rely on it for milling the carrier material of carbide blades.

The Business Case for Upgrading

Investing in either the B240M or FS1500 isn’t just a capital expense — it’s a strategic decision that can:

  • Increase production throughput

  • Improve blade performance and longevity

  • Reduce labor costs via automation

  • Enhance shop floor safety

  • Provide better integration into modern manufacturing systems

Conclusion: The Machines That Define the Future

In the world of saw blade manufacturing, precision is non-negotiable, and productivity is the lifeblood of profitability. The B240M and FS1500 are not just meeting these needs — they’re redefining them. Whether you are a high-volume global manufacturer or a specialized blade producer, these machines will give you the edge — literally and figuratively.
