Razor Sharp Results: The Pedrazzoli Cold Saw Advantage

5/1/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
Picture this: your next batch of stainless‐steel tubing rolls off the saw with edges razor-sharp and perfectly square. No grinding, no burrs, just flawless cuts ready for welding or assembly.

That’s the power of Pedrazzoli's cold saws! By combining low-speed, toothed-blade technology with an advanced coolant system, these precision-engineered machines deliver clean, cool cuts so your shop can spend less time on touch-ups and more time hitting those production targets.

Pedrazzoli's reputation for delivering clean, burr-free cuts while standing up to rough industrial use is well deserved. And doesn't your shop deserve a machine that cuts down on labor and keeps your operations running smoothly? Read on to find out more about their Super Brown series and see which model is best suited for your production needs!

Cold Saw Features and Benefits for Metalworking

A cold saw uses a low-speed, toothed circular blade paired with a closed‐loop coolant system to slice through metal without generating the kind of heat that you typically see with abrasive sawing. This controlled cutting action preserves the blade’s hardness and chip geometry, dramatically reducing material loss and virtually eliminating burrs- even on tough alloys!
Integrated coolant ports keep the kerf cool, preventing heat‐affected zones in the workpiece and ensuring staff stays safe during continuous runs. Built on heavy‐gauge steel frames with ergonomic fixtures and intuitive controls, Pedrazzoli saws deliver rock‐solid reliability whether you’re hand‐feeding odd‐shaped workpieces or running step feeds for high‐volume batches.
Beyond just clean cuts, these machines pay for themselves through long‐term savings. Coolant‐assisted blades can last up to ten times longer than abrasive wheels, cutting down on tool changes and consumables costs. Their low‐RPM operation draws less power, and fewer blade swaps translate to less downtime, boosting overall throughput. 
From manual to semi-automatic to step-feed configurations, Pedrazzoli cold saws scale to any shop’s output requirements. With safety features, easy-adjust fixtures, and clear controls, it's easy to set-up and use for operators of all skill levels!

Super Brown 350/60 MRM

Pedrazzoli SB350-60mrm Super Brown Cold Saw
Cutting Capacity (0°-45° pipe): 4″

This is the original Pedrazzoli cold saw and it's a workhorse. A straight-forward manual feed machine with easy to use hand-wheel speed adjustment and a cast-iron vise for secure clamping.

Best For: Maintenance departments and shops needing reliable, low-volume cutting of ferrous and nonferrous tube, pipe, and profiles.

Super Brown 350/60 SA

Pedrazzoli 350-60SA Super Brown Cold Saw
Cutting Capacity (0°-45° pipe): 4″

​
This semi-automatic model cuts up to 30% faster due to the indexed hydraulic feed system; adjustable feed rate for steel vs. nonferrous; quick-change blade system; pneumatic vise.

Best for: Medium-volume shops and fabricators looking to boost productivity with consistent finishes that cut down on future labor.

Super Brown 350 AP

Pedrazzoli SB350AP Super Brown Cold Saw
Cutting Capacity (0°-45° pipe): 4.5″

This heavy duty machine features a semi-automatic step-feeder carriage that can repeat up to nine steps with total movement to 18 feet! It comes equipped with a programmable piece counter, perfect for batch cuts on ferrous materials. It also employs a pneumatic vise and anti-burr device for clean parts devoid of heat transfer every time.

Best For: High-volume batch cutting operations looking for hands-off step-feed cycles for repeatable production.

Pedrazzoli's line of Super Brown cold saws offer a winning combination of precision, durability, and ease of use for any metalworking shop. The only thing stopping you from optimizing production, reducing downstream finishing, and lowering operating costs, is picking the right one. The Earlbeck team is happy to help you make that decision- just reach out today and we'll narrow down which model best suits your material mix and volume requirements so you can get started ASAP!
