Disclosed herein is a machine for cutting nozzles of reactor vessels. The machine for cutting nozzles of reactor vessels comprises a cutting unit positioned at an upper surface edge of a reactor vessel having a nozzle and having a saw blade part having different contact areas to cut the nozzle, a drive unit providing the saw blade part with rotary power, and a foreign substance suction unit provided at one end of the cutting unit in contiguity with the saw blade part to suck foreign substances generated when the nozzle is cut by the saw blade part, wherein the foreign substance suction unit sucks the foreign substances by approaching an outer peripheral surface of the nozzle when the saw blade part moves in a cutting direction of the nozzle.

A method for sawing a metal tube (3) or hollow section using a band-saw machine which has a stationary lower saw part (1) having a saw table (2) for placing and fixing a metal tube (3) to be sawn, and an upper saw part (4) which is movable in relation to the lower saw part (1) and which has a revolving saw band (5). The revolving saw band (5) via a feed motion (13) of the upper saw part (4), which is performed in relation to the lower saw part (1), penetrates the metal tube (3) and, for performing a saw cut, is guided through said metal tube (3). The feed motion is carried out substantially counter to the force of gravity.

A CNC machining center that includes a machine base and a machine tool positioned on the base for carrying out a machining operation on a workpiece. A work table is positioned on the base and is adapted for supporting the workpiece and moving the workpiece relative to the machine tool during a machining operation. A saw is positioned above the work table in a longitudinally-offset direction from the machine tool for carrying out a sawing operation on the workpiece. The saw may be a band saw.

A horizontal band saw machine includes a pair of jaws, a pair of saw blade wheels, a band saw blade looped over the saw blade wheels, a pair of saw blade guides, a contact guide attached to the other of the pair of jaws, a coupling bracket connected to the other of the pair of saw blade guides to locate a distal end thereof below the other of the pair of saw blade wheels, and a follower member provided at the distal end of the coupling bracket. The contact guide and the coupling bracket are configured to move one of the pair of saw blade guides until the follower member contacts with the contact guide when the band saw blade is fed circularly in a state where the band saw blade is clamped by the one of the pair of saw blade guides.

A cutting-angle adjustable bandsaw is provided with a base, a first mounting seat, a second mounting seat, a first saw table, a second saw table, a first drive unit, a second drive unit, a bandsaw unit and an adjustment unit. The first and second drive units can make the first and second saw tables move to different horizontal planes, so as to adjust the band blade riding between the drive wheel and the assistant wheel to an inclined position, so that the cutting angle of the band blade is changed to reduce the contact area between the band blade and the object to be cut.

A bandsaw assembly for cutting large diameter workpieces such as turbine rotors, heat exchangers or shafts at a plant or factory and a method of using the same is disclosed. The assembly includes a frame; ground-engaging wheels or a track provided on the frame; a plurality of spaced apart towers extending vertically upwardly from the frame; a rotatable drive wheel mounted on each tower, said drive wheel being horizontally oriented and presenting a vertically oriented circumferential surface; a motor operatively engaged with one or more of the drive wheels; and a bandsaw blade passing around the wheels and being in contact with the circumferential surfaces thereof; said blade being selectively driven by the drive wheels. The towers are variable in length to raise or lower the blade. The assembly is reduced in width for transportation or storage and increased in width for operation.

A double-saw band saw machine includes a base, a first band saw unit, a second band saw unit, a feeding unit and a clamp unit. When an object to be sawn is located in a sawing area between the first and second band saw units, the first and second motors control the first and second frames to move toward each other along the first axial direction, so that the first and second band saw blades can be used to cut the object to be sawn simultaneously. Hence, the sawing efficiency of the double-saw band saw machine is improved, and the replacement interval for the first and second band saw blades is extended.
