Last updated: July 2026 dataMetal-cutting saws — including band saws, circular cold saws, and hack saws designed specifically for cutting metal stock — are classified here, serving fabrication shops, steel service centers, and structural steel fabricators. Germany leads US import supply, with Taiwan and Italy also prominent. The heading's nine 10-digit lines apply a control-type and value matrix: numerically controlled machines are separated into used/rebuilt (8461504010) and new (8461504050) lines, while non-NC machines are further split by value threshold and condition across lines 8461500010 through 8461508090.

A machine is considered numerically controlled when its cutting cycle, feed rate, and positioning are directed by a programmable controller using coded numerical data. A band saw with only manual or simple electromechanical controls — even if it has a digital readout — generally does not qualify as NC. The distinction routes the machine to either the NC lines (8461504010 or 8461504050) or the non-NC lines, so reviewing the manufacturer's technical specification and control system documentation before entry is advisable.
No — the value threshold applies only to non-NC machines. New non-NC saws valued under $3,025 go to 8461508020, while those valued at $3,025 or over go to 8461508090. New NC saws are classified under 8461504050 regardless of value, with no price-based split.
