Kalamazoo Industries, Inc. was established in 1960 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and has manufactured metalworking machinery in the United States for over six decades. The company designs, manufactures, and assembles all equipment at its Kalamazoo facility, which includes a dedicated 5,000-square-foot custom fabrication center for special-application machines. Kalamazoo Industries has earned recognition for engineering high-performance abrasive cutoff solutions, including custom saws capable of dry-cutting superalloys like Inconel at production rates. The company's proprietary TruArc oscillation system improves abrasive wheel contact arc for faster, cleaner cuts. Products are sold through a nationwide network of authorized dealers. Kalamazoo Industries is not affiliated with Clausing Kalamazoo (bandsaws) or Kalamazoo Machine Tool/KMT Saw (circular saws), which are separate companies.

Kalamazoo Abrasive Saws & Cutoff Systems

Kalamazoo Industries builds abrasive cutoff saws from compact 7" bench models through heavy-duty 14" production chop saws and large-format wet metallurgical systems with wheels up to 44" in diameter. The K10B (10", 3 HP) and K12-14B (14", heavy-duty) are the most common Kalamazoo saws in the field. Mitre models (K12-14MS, KM10) cut angles up to 45 degrees in both directions. Wet saws (K12-14W, K20SW, K22SW, K26SW) use flood coolant for heat-sensitive materials. Custom metallurgical saws handle superalloy cutoff at production speed for aerospace and recycling applications.

Kalamazoo Sanders, Grinders & Fixtures

Belt sanders include the S4S (4" x 36"), S6M and S6MW (6" x 48" dry and wet), and S14D (14" x 103" vertical). Belt grinders span the BG248 (2" x 48") and BG448 (4" x 48", 3 HP, 7,200 SFPM) for fast metal removal. Disc sanders and combination sanders (DS10, DS10-4) provide flat and convex surface finishing. The 5C and 10C collet fixtures use a cam-lock design for quick, repeatable work-holding in grinding, inspection, and light machining operations. Vibratory finishers handle deburring and surface preparation.

What to Look for When Buying Used Kalamazoo Equipment

Kalamazoo Industries equipment is built with heavy-duty cast iron and steel for demanding shop environments, and used units frequently retain years of service life. Straightforward mechanical designs make inspection and refurbishment practical.

On abrasive saws, check the spindle, arbor, and bearings. Spin the spindle by hand and feel for roughness or excessive play. On the K10B and K12-14B, the spindle assembly carries the full cutting load and is the primary wear point. Verify the arbor diameter matches the wheel bore (5/8" on 10" models, 1" on 14" models). Check the V-belt for cracking or glazing. On wet models (K12-14W, K20SW), inspect the coolant pump, nozzles, and drain for proper flow.

On belt sanders and grinders, inspect the contact wheel, platen, and tracking. On the BG448, check the 4" x 8" serrated contact wheel for wear, flat spots, or rubber deterioration. Verify the belt tracks true across the full platen width. On wet belt sanders (S6MW), confirm coolant wets the full belt width evenly. On combination sanders (DS10-4), check both the disc and belt assemblies independently.

On 5C fixtures, verify collet alignment and cam lock function. Insert a 5C collet and test the cam lock for positive engagement and smooth release. Check the fixture body for wear on the collet bore taper. Indicate a ground test bar in the collet for runout. On 10C fixtures, the cam pin should lock and unlock cleanly with no slop or binding.

Kalamazoo Abrasive Chop Saws

K10B (10" Standard) and K12-14B (14" Heavy-Duty)

The K10B is Kalamazoo's workhorse 10" abrasive chop saw with a 3 HP motor (3,450 RPM), cam lock vise, and adjustable work stop, handling mild steel up to 1.5" solid and 2.5" pipe. The K12-14B steps up to a 14" wheel for cutting 2.5" solid and 3" pipe with heavier construction for production use. Both are available in single-phase and three-phase. The K7B (7") and K8B (8") serve lighter-duty and bench-top applications.

Mitre and Wet Abrasive Saws

The K12-14MS (14" mitre) and KM10 (10" mitre) cut left and right up to 45 degrees in mild steel angle iron, flat stock, and bar stock. Wet saws include the K12-14W (14" wet), K20SW (20" semi-automatic wet cutoff with air-over-oil feed control), and larger K22SW and K26SW models. Wet cutting reduces heat for metallurgical sample preparation and heat-sensitive materials.

Custom Metallurgical and Superalloy Saws

Kalamazoo Industries engineers custom abrasive cutoff saws for applications standard machines cannot handle, including the K44E (44" enclosed wet metallurgical saw) and production saws with wheels up to 36" and motors up to 75 HP for dry-cutting superalloys like Inconel at aerospace production rates.

Kalamazoo Belt Sanders & Grinders

Belt sanders include the S4S (4" x 36"), S6M (6" x 48" multiposition), S6MW (6" x 48" wet), S14D (14" x 103" vertical), and the compact 1SMVP (1" x 42" multiposition). Belt grinders include the BG248 (2" x 48") and BG448 (4" x 48", 3 HP, 7,200 SFPM) for fast metal removal with minimal heat. The BG448 positions at any angle from vertical to horizontal for deburring, descaling, beveling, and round-end finishing. DS10 disc sanders and DS10-4 combination sanders (10" disc plus 4" x 36" belt) handle flat surface finishing.

Kalamazoo 5C Fixtures & Vibratory Finishers

5C collet fixtures and 10C collet fixtures use a cam-lock design that clamps and releases 5C collets quickly for grinding, inspection, milling, and production operations. The 10C accepts standard 5C collets in a larger body for added rigidity. Vibratory finishers provide automated deburring, surface blending, and edge preparation on batches of small parts.

How to Sell Your Used Kalamazoo Equipment

Kalamazoo Industries equipment holds resale value due to U.S. manufacturing heritage, heavy-duty construction, and universal demand for cutoff saws, sanders, and grinders. K10B and K12-14B chop saws and BG448 grinders move consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Kalamazoo Equipment

Is Kalamazoo Industries the same as Clausing Kalamazoo or KMT Saw?

No. Kalamazoo Industries (est. 1960) makes abrasive saws, belt sanders, grinders, and 5C fixtures. Clausing Kalamazoo (formerly KTS Industries, est. 1939) makes bandsaws. Kalamazoo Machine Tool/KMT Saw (est. 1968) makes circular saws and bandsaws with an Italian manufacturing partner. All three are in the Kalamazoo, Michigan area but operate independently.

Are used Kalamazoo saws reliable?

Yes. Kalamazoo Industries equipment is designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA with heavy-duty cast iron and steel. Mechanical simplicity means fewer components to fail, and parts remain available for all current and legacy models.

What should I inspect before buying used Kalamazoo equipment?

On saws, check spindle bearings, arbor condition, V-belts, and vise clamping. On belt sanders and grinders, inspect the contact wheel, belt tracking, and platen. On wet models, verify coolant pump and delivery. On 5C fixtures, test cam lock engagement and collet bore alignment.

What Kalamazoo products hold their value best?

K12-14B heavy-duty chop saws, BG448 belt grinders, K20SW wet cutoff saws, and custom metallurgical saws hold the strongest resale values. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.

Can I still get parts for older Kalamazoo equipment?

Yes. Kalamazoo Industries stocks parts for all current and legacy models. Spindle assemblies, bearings, V-belts, contact wheels, platens, and cam lock components ship same day in most cases.

Does Resell CNC offer financing on used Kalamazoo equipment?

Yes. Resell CNC offers flexible financing options to help your business acquire the equipment it needs. Contact us at (844) 478-8181 to discuss terms.
