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.

Use For

  • Dry, flat lumber
  • Boards
  • Plywood sheets that fit within the tool width
  • Logs, carvings, or other irregular lumber if supported properly

Do Not Use For

  • Pressure-treated
  • Wet lumber
  • Plastic
  • Metal or metal-coated
  • Composites
