What to Look for When Buying a Used DoAll
DoAll saws are built with heavy-duty plate steel, TIG-welded frames, and precision-machined components designed for years of continuous production cutting. Here is what to inspect on used units.
Check blade guides and bandwheels. Blade guide condition directly affects cut quality, accuracy, and blade life. Inspect carbide-faced guide inserts for wear or chips. On coolant-through guides, confirm clean flow. Check bandwheels for flat spots, worn tire surfaces, or runout that causes blade tracking problems.
Test the hydraulic system. DoAll production saws rely on hydraulic circuits for blade feed, vise clamping, material indexing, and blade tensioning. Check hydraulic pressure, inspect hoses for leaks, and verify consistent operation. On automatic models, test the shuttle vise indexer for accurate, repeatable positioning.
Evaluate the vise and clamping system. Test the main vise for firm, square clamping. On StructurALL miter saws, verify that the swivel head rotates smoothly and locks accurately at common miter angles. On production saws with variable pressure control, confirm consistent holding force across the full range.
Verify the control system. Current DoAll saws use PLC touchscreen controls with job storage and error messaging. Confirm clean power-up and test all functions. On legacy saws, check relay logic, limit switches, and VFD operation.
DoAll Continental Series (High Production)
DC-280NC
The DC-280NC is DoAll's best-selling automatic production bandsaw with 11-inch round and 11-3/4 by 11-inch rectangular capacity. Features include PLC touchscreen control with 20-job memory, hydraulic shuttle vise indexer, VFD-controlled band speed (72 to 390 FPM), hydraulic blade tension, automatic chip conveyor, and bundle-cutting capability via nesting fixture. The DC-280NC is the most commonly traded used DoAll production saw.
DC-330NC & DC-330SA
The DC-330NC steps up to larger cutting capacity while retaining the same PLC automation and dual-column rigidity as the DC-280NC. The DC-330SA is a semi-automatic version that combines manual control with hydraulic clamping and feed for shops that need flexibility alongside automated cutting.
DoAll StructurALL Series (Structural & Miter)
400S
The 400S is DoAll's entry-level structural bandsaw with 10-3/4-inch round and 16 by 10-inch rectangular capacity, swivel head to 45 degrees, VFD-controlled band speed (50 to 400 FPM), and 3 HP band motor. Hand-assembled at DoAll's Minnesota headquarters, the 400S serves small to medium fabricators and machine shops making accurate straight and miter cuts in structural steel, tube, and bar.
500H, Tilt-Frame & Miter Models
The 500H expands capacity for larger structural sections. The TF-2028M tilt-frame miter saw combines heavy mechanical construction with programmable automation for production fabrication. Double-miter models handle angled cuts in two directions for maximum versatility in structural steel and plate work.
DoAll Vertical Contour Bandsaws
DoAll vertical contour saws handle profile cutting, radius work, and plate sawing where the vertical blade orientation allows operators to guide material through curves and complex shapes. These machines serve maintenance shops, prototype operations, and facilities requiring contour cuts in metals and composites.
DoAll Circular Cold Saws
DoAll circular cold saws deliver fast, burr-free crosscuts on bar, tube, and profiles. Automatic models feature programmable cut lengths and material feed for unattended production. DoAll pioneered the automatic cold saw concept, and circular saws remain an important part of the product line for applications where cut quality and cycle speed take priority over cutting range.
DoAll Blades, Fluids & Parts
DoAll is the only manufacturer that produces sawing machines, bandsaw blades, and cutting fluids under one brand. The blade catalog includes bi-metal, carbide-tipped, and carbon steel options. The parts department stocks thousands of components for current and legacy models.
How to Sell Your Used DoAll
DoAll saws hold strong resale value thanks to American-made build quality, a 97-year brand legacy, and consistent demand from fabricators, steel service centers, and job shops. DC-280NC production saws, 400S structural saws, and legacy DoAll horizontal bandsaws are in particularly high demand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used DoAll Saws
Are used DoAll saws reliable?
Yes. DoAll saws are built with heavy plate steel, TIG-welded frames, and precision-machined components at the company's Minnesota headquarters. The brand has been manufacturing sawing equipment since 1927. Well-maintained DoAll saws routinely provide decades of production service.
Can I still get parts for older DoAll saws?
Yes. DoAll stocks thousands of replacement parts for current and legacy models, with most orders shipping same day. Factory-trained service technicians are also available nationwide for on-site repair and maintenance.
What should I inspect before buying a used DoAll?
Prioritize blade guide condition, bandwheel surfaces, hydraulic system integrity (pressure, leaks, feed consistency), vise clamping function, control system status, and overall cut quality with a test cut if possible.
What is the difference between the Continental and StructurALL series?
The Continental Series (DC-280NC, DC-330NC) features dual-column construction with fully automatic PLC-controlled operation for high-volume production cutting. The StructurALL series (400S, 500H) uses a pivot or tilt-frame design optimized for structural steel, tube, and miter cuts at lower to medium production volumes.
What industries use DoAll saws?
DoAll saws serve steel service centers, structural steel fabrication, aerospace, automotive, metal distribution, job shops, production manufacturing, and maintenance and repair operations.
What DoAll models hold their value best?
DC-280NC and DC-330NC automatic production bandsaws maintain the strongest resale values due to production capability and broad demand. The 400S structural saw holds well at accessible price points. Vintage DoAll saws in good condition also attract collectors and small shops. Call (844) 478-8181 for valuations.
