ARG 235

Manufactured by PILOUS, the ARG 235 is a gravity-fed metal bandsaw engineered for precise, reliable cutting in small to medium-sized workshops. Designed with mechanical simplicity and structural durability in mind, this model delivers consistent cutting performance with minimal operational complexity.

The ARG 235 is positioned as a practical and economic solution for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and metalworking businesses that require dependable cutting capacity without investing in fully hydraulic systems.

Overview

The ARG 235 operates on a gravity descent principle, where the cutting head lowers under controlled weight pressure. This ensures smooth blade engagement with the material while maintaining operator control and cutting stability. Its robust cast-iron bow construction absorbs vibration during operation, supporting cleaner cuts and extended blade life. The system is designed for straight and angular cuts, making it suitable for a wide range of metal profiles and structural components.

The machine offers reliable performance across solid bars, pipes, square and rectangular profiles, and light structural steel elements.

Key points

• Gravity-fed cutting system for mechanical simplicity and reliability
• Rigid cast-iron saw bow for vibration reduction
• Manual angle adjustment for mitre cuts
• Adjustable blade tensioning system
• Integrated coolant system compatibility
• Compact footprint ideal for workshop environments
• Low maintenance requirements

The ARG 235 combines durability with operational clarity, making it suitable for daily workshop use without complex electronics.

Technical advantages

Mechanical reliability

The gravity-feed mechanism reduces mechanical complexity compared to hydraulic systems. Fewer components mean lower maintenance risk and greater long-term durability.

Structural stability

The cast-iron bow provides structural mass and rigidity, which contributes to:
