Are you an authorized Tsune dealer?

No. Tsune America Inc. (Wood Dale, IL) is the US OEM arm of Tsune Seiki Co., Ltd (Japan). Saw Service 3G is an independent Houston shop experienced with Tsune machinery — we work from technical depth built over decades on high-precision metal-cutting equipment, not a dealer certificate.

What does Tsune make?

Tsune Seiki Co., Ltd specializes in high-precision metal-cutting machinery — primarily carbide circular cold saws (FA-series: FA-250, FA-300A, FA-500A), band saws (FMB series), and fully automatic systems (NHC and MCS). The carbide circular line is what most owners think of when they say "Tsune."

Which Tsune models do you repair?

FA-250, FA-300A, and FA-500A carbide circular cold saws; FMB band saws; MCS and NHC fully-automatic systems; and legacy Tsune machinery. Call (281) 704-5589 with model and serial if your unit isn't listed.

Can you service older Tsune machines?

Yes. Legacy Tsune carbide circular saws and older FMB band saws are still on plenty of Texas shop floors. The machines outlast spare-parts inventory but reward patient diagnosis. Where OEM parts aren't stocked, we source dimensional equivalents and document the substitutions.

How fast can you respond in Houston?

Most Greater Houston customers see a technician on-site within 72 hours of the call, often sooner for existing accounts and emergency breakdowns. Time-and-a-half applies for evenings, weekends, and extended hours.

Who runs Saw Service 3G — and what does the "3G" mean?

Kaylen (owner) and Mason (service lead) run the company day-to-day. "3G" stands for the third generation of the family business — Kaylen's father, known across Greater Houston metals as "DoAll Dave," serviced most of the saws our customers still run today. Kaylen joined in 2019 and took over in 2024.

How long have you been servicing industrial band saws?

25 years across three generations of the same family. The business started in 2001 and has been on Greater Houston metals shop floors ever since.

Are you an authorized dealer for any band saw brand?

Yes — Saw Service 3G is an authorized Hyd-Mech dealer. We also routinely service Marvel, HEM Saw, Amada, Behringer, Continental, Tsune, Nishijimax, Spartan, and many more.

Do you actually come to our facility, or do we ship the saw to you?

We come to you. Saw Service 3G is a fully mobile, on-site operation based in Spring, TX (north Greater Houston). We work directly on your floor, anywhere within a 100-mile primary radius — and we'll travel farther for the right customer.

Do you service industrial / metal band saws or wood-cutting band saws?

Primary focus is industrial metal-cutting band saws — horizontal and vertical saws in fab shops, machine shops, steel service centers, CNC shops, and tube & pipe yards. We're also open to wood shops running industrial-grade band saws like Northfield, Tannewitz, Wadkin, larger Laguna, Felder, and SCMI — same mechanical platform, just a different blade. Hobbyist tools (Jet, Powermatic, Grizzly, Rikon) aren't a fit for our truck-roll. Call us with your make and model and we'll tell you straight.

Which band saw brands do you service?

Hyd-Mech (authorized dealer), Marvel, HEM Saw, Amada, Behringer, Continental, Tsune, Nishijimax, Spartan, and many more. After 25 years across the industry, if it's an industrial band saw, we've likely worked on it.

Can you handle emergency or urgent breakdowns?

Yes. Most emergency calls get a tech on-site within 72 hours, often sooner for Greater Houston customers we already work with. Call (281) 704-5589 — the faster we know, the faster we roll. Time-and-a-half applies for evening and weekend hours.

How do you price band saw repair?

Hourly with a 2–3 hour minimum (depending on location), plus travel — calculated from our shop in Spring, TX, out to your facility and back. We quote up front and bill after the job is verified done. No surprises.

What are your payment terms?

Net 30 with ACH or check. We don't currently accept credit cards. W-9 available on request.

Do you handle anchoring, or just repair?

Both. We anchor band saws — set, level, align, and power up so the machine runs true and stays true — and handle every step of mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical work in between. We don't move saws between sites (that's specialized millwright/rigging work) and we don't sell or install new saws, with Hyd-Mech excepted as authorized dealer.

Can you fix blade tracking, drive system, and hydraulic issues on-site?

Yes. Blade tracking, drive systems, hydraulics, controls, sensors, and electrical work — diagnosed and repaired at your facility. We bring the tools and 25 years of experience; you keep your floor space.

Do you offer preventive maintenance programs?

Yes. We build scheduled PM programs around your duty cycle so wear gets caught before it becomes downtime — tracked and reported each visit.

What cities and counties do you serve out of Spring / Greater Houston?

Our primary service radius is 100 miles from our Spring, TX shop — that covers Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Galveston, Montgomery, Liberty, and Walker counties. We also serve customers across Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Mississippi for larger jobs and existing accounts.

Yes — general liability insurance is available up to $1–2 million if a customer's facility requires it on the certificate of insurance.

Tsune service in Houston

Tsune saw repair — on-site across Houston.

Quick context if you’re newer to the brand: Tsune Seiki Co., Ltd (Japan) is best known for high-precision carbide circular cold saws — the FA-250, FA-300A, and FA-500A — not traditional band saws. Tsune also builds FMB band saws and MCS / NHC fully-automatic systems, but the carbide circular line is what most owners think of when they say “Tsune.” We service both saw types.

Tsune machines anchor precision production work in fabrication shops, automotive component manufacturers, and oil & gas operations — anywhere the cut needs to come off the saw within microns. When a Tsune goes down, the wrong fix is faster than no fix: a carbide blade out of alignment with the arbor scraps parts faster than a band saw cutting crooked.

Saw Service 3G is a Houston-based independent shop. We are not an authorized Tsune dealer — Tsune America Inc. (Wood Dale, IL) is the US OEM arm of the Japanese parent. What we bring is decades of high-precision saw experience on the FA-series and FMB platforms. Mobile, on your floor, verified test cut before sign-off.

The FA-series cuts we touch most often live in Houston’s automotive-component shops, the energy machine shops out along Grand Pkwy in Katy, and the modular-fab pockets up around The Woodlands. If an FMB band gives up mid-job we can also weld a replacement blade on the truck the same visit.

Mobile Tsune service from our Spring, TX shop across the Greater Houston corridor. Each city below has its own service-area page with drive-time notes and local industrial context.

Failure modes

Common Tsune failure modes we see in the field

Tsune FA-Series carbide circulars, FMB band saws, MCS / NHC fully-automatic systems, and legacy Tsune machinery. These are the issues we diagnose most often, organized by series.

FA-Series carbide circulars (FA-250, FA-300A, FA-500A)

Carbide blade alignment off on the FA-Series and the cut goes from precision to scrap quickly.

Major

Common causes

Arbor wear after long service hours on the carbide spindle.
Clamp-face contamination keeping the blade off true.
Spindle bent or bearing wear on high-cycle FA units.

Hydraulic vise pressure drifts on the FA-300A/500A and clamp force goes inconsistent on positioning cycles.

Common causes

Seal wear in the clamp cylinder.
Hydraulic fluid contaminated after long service interval.
Valve sticking on the clamp circuit; we meter-test and reset clamp force.

Coolant or mist degradation on the FA carbide cuts and tooth life drops dramatically over a shift.

Common causes

Pump wear reducing flow to the high-velocity nozzles.
Nozzle clogging at the cut zone.
Mist ratio drifted from spec — Tsune carbide cuts are punishing on coolant.

FMB-Series band saws

FMB band tracking drifts and the cut goes out of square on extended production runs.

Minor

Common causes

Guide-bearing wear opening clearance on the tracking arm.
Blade tension loss reducing back-edge stability.
Wheel crown worn flat, changing effective tension across the blade.

FMB hydraulic down-feed creeps off setting and the cut rate goes inconsistent through a long cycle.

Common causes

Pump drift after long service hours.
Cylinder seal wear on the down-feed circuit.
Metering orifice partially blocked by fluid contamination.

MCS & NHC fully-automatic systems

Servo positioning fault on the MCS or NHC automation and the cycle hangs with a panel code.

Major

Common causes

Servo drives lost tuning after a long run or power event.
Encoder drift on the position feedback loop.
Cable continuity loss on the servo harness; we read the fault and scope the circuit.

Cycle time has crept up on the automation and the line is missing throughput targets.

Common causes

Hydraulic pump wear on the down-feed.
Coolant degradation forcing reduced feed rate.
Servo-tuning drift after long service hours.

Legacy Tsune machinery

Older Tsune FA carbide circular or FMB band cuts slow and tooth life is below newer fleet units.

Minor

Common causes

Guide-bearing or spindle-bearing wear from high lifetime hours.
Drive belts glazed or relaxed past service life.
Coolant system aged out — pump, lines, and nozzles all due for service.

OEM parts on legacy Tsune units are no longer stocked and the saw is down waiting on parts.

Common causes

Bearings, seals, and hoses sourceable as dimensional equivalents from a parts network.
Electricals — contactors, relays, sensors — typically available from current suppliers.
Documented substitutions keep the service records clean for downstream resale or audit.

Tsune-specific issues

Common Tsune issues we fix.

Four patterns we see on Tsune machines more than any others. Each is diagnosable in a single field visit.

Carbide blade alignment off

Tsune FA-series carbide cuts live in microns. Arbor wear, clamp-face contamination, or a bent spindle puts the blade out of true and the cut goes from precision to scrap. We inspect, align, and verify on a test piece.

Hydraulic vise pressure drift

Vise positioning and clamp force walk out of tune over time — seal wear, fluid contamination, or a valve sticking. We meter-test the circuit and reset clamp force.

Servo positioning faults

MCS / NHC automation faults when servo drives lose tuning, encoders drift, or position feedback loops break. We read the fault, scope the circuit, and trace to root cause.

Coolant or mist degradation

Tsune cuts at high feed rates — coolant pump wear, nozzle clogging, or wrong mist ratio shortens carbide tooth life dramatically. We rebuild the coolant side end-to-end.

Legacy service

Older Tsune machines: legacy service.

Tsune saws built in the 1990s and 2000s are still earning their keep on plenty of Texas shop floors. Here’s how we keep them running.

Older Tsune machines we still service

Legacy FA-series carbide circular saws and older FMB band saws are common in shops that bought Tsune in the 1990s and 2000s. The machines outlast spare parts inventory, but the platform repays patient diagnosis.

Parts strategy on legacy units

Where OEM parts are no longer stocked, we work the spec back to dimensional equivalents from our parts network — bearings, seals, hoses, and electricals are usually sourceable. We document substitutions so your records stay clean.

Cross-platform expertise transfers

The mechanical logic on legacy Tsune carbide circular saws overlaps with current high-precision platforms. Decades of field hours on the family means we're not relearning the saw on your time.
