American Metal Customs builds, modifies and services epic bikes and cars using a plethora of machines from Baileigh Industrial, including a BSV-24VS-V2 vertical bandsaw. The company’s owner Chris Bishop and lead builder and shop manager Josh Allison team up to exemplify the best in American craftsmanship.

“We love preserving the history of America in that hot-rod culture and the motorcycle culture that created what we do now, especially as builders,” explains Allison, who has become a social media star in the world of elite custom bikes.

“Working with Josh is always a fun ride and Baileigh is amazing in terms of helping him do his craft; helping him do it easier and better,” says Bishop. “They understandthat we want to build things the American way, with craftsmanship and with attention to detail. With Baileigh’s help and Josh’s skill, we take it to the next level.”

Allison is full of praise for the BaileighBSV-24VS-V2 vertical bandsaw, stating: “We have so many different features…we have this variable speed controller so you can set it for whatever blade we have in there; for whatever material we’re cutting. Everybody’s on this machine almost every single day.” Plus, Allison adds with a twinkle, “I won’t lie: people cut things they’re not supposed to and it and it still does its job.”

The BSV-24VS-V2 is the largest non-mitring vertical bandsaw in the Baileigh line up. The cast iron table can pivot left to right, while inverter-controlled variable speeds from 26 to 670 m/min allowusers to adjust the speed for cutting metal, plastic and wood. The DRO lets operators see the blade speed during cut.
