Description
The cutting blade in a band saw is a continuous loop that travels through the machine on pulleys. In a vertical band saw, the blade travels vertically through a slot in a table, and workpieces are hand-fed through the blade to make a cut.
Wood-grain affects the forces and motions during cutting in a saw, so there is a ripping fence and a miter gauge as in a table saw. With metal cutting, the workpiece is usually clamped in a vise.
