Bandsaw machines

A band saw is a powered saw that consists of a continuous band of steel with a serrated toothed edge – stretched between two or more wheels. The blade continually rotates along the wheels, like a cassette tape, yet despite moving continuously, only a small part of it is exposed in the cutting area. The small size of the blade allows for greater accuracy and control, and guides and bearings (located above and below the blade) hold it in position as it cuts through a piece of wood or metal.

A motor is used to power the band saw, and most models contain adjustments that let you expose more of the blade for larger workpieces, adjust speeds and allow for angled cutting, depending on the table surface. Band saws come with a table, angle, and fences – all of which will enable you to perform crosscuts, mitre cuts, straight cuts, and freehand cuts.

If you have one large piece of wood that you need to make a few parts out of, you should start with any straight cuts first – sizing down the wood and making it easier to work with. Then, use the saw again to cut the piece to the required size. From there, you’ll be able to make accurate cuts, including intricate details and curves.

Although bandsaws are mainly used in woodworking, they also come in extremely useful in lumbering and metalworking. Band saws for metal cutting are rarely any different from other types; the main difference resides with the blade you use, you also need a much slower speed plus the correct blades, it’s able to handle and accurately cut the metal – whilst reducing waste and allowing for greater control.
