Wood And Metal Cutting Band Saw 18''

What is a band saw machine? A bandsaw is a power saw with a long, sharp blade consisting of a continuous band of toothed metal stretched between two wheels to cut material. They are used principally in woodworking, metalworking, and lumbering, but may cut a variety of materials.Metal-cutting band saw blades have finer blades with more teeth, making them better for larger cuts when working with metal. Wood-cutting band saw blades typically have coarser blades with fewer teeth, making them ideal for cutting softer materials.The band saw gets its name because the blade that cuts the stock is a narrow steel strip where the ends have been welded together to form a continuous band.
