Reliable Band Saw Service for Minnesota Manufacturers

A properly tuned band saw is essential for clean, accurate cuts and efficient material flow in any metalworking or fabrication shop. When the blade drifts, cuts taper, or feed systems fail, productivity slows, and material waste rises. C & C Machine Tool Inc. provides professional band saw repair and maintenance services across Minneapolis and the surrounding Minnesota region.

Since 2015, our family-owned business has specialized in repairing, aligning, and rebuilding industrial band saws of all types—horizontal, vertical, and production-grade units. We focus on precision adjustments and mechanical integrity to ensure your saw delivers accurate, straight, and safe cuts every time.

Why Band Saw Repair and Maintenance Matter

A band saw relies on proper blade tension, guide alignment, and smooth hydraulic feed to produce repeatable results. Over time, vibration, blade tracking issues, and mechanical wear can cause inaccuracies, safety hazards, and unplanned downtime.

Professional maintenance ensures:

  • Accurate, straight cuts with minimal waste

  • Extended blade and bearing life

  • Stable hydraulic feed and tensioning

  • Quiet, vibration-free operation

  • Improved operator safety and productivity

By maintaining alignment and ensuring all components perform correctly, you keep your production flowing and your parts consistent.
