To provide a stable work surface and minimal vibration, the frame and table are made from precision-ground cast Iron.
If you aren't going to use it often, you should get a large capacity band saw. The best you can afford.
The included articulating light allows you to see the cut line and work surface clearly, making it easier for you to make cuts.
This saw can be used by moving your wooden object against the blade. This machine allows you the freedom to work with wood in many ways, including from different angles.
It's light-weight and easy to move about the shop. We recommend this benchtop model for beginners. It's very affordable and the adjustments can be made quickly.
First, this saw can be difficult to adjust. It's difficult to adjust things like the alignment, expandable workspace, and tensioning belt. This saw is difficult to move.
Believe it, but benchtop bandsaws are as versatile and as powerful as large floor-standing units.
This machine is also heavy-duty and can be used for professional work. It also comes with an integrated halogen lamp.

Band saws are mostly used to cut wood. However, they can also cut metal.
You can use your band saw to make wood into many different shapes. You can first use the bandsaw to trim large pieces of wood.
Most band saws have the ability to adjust to expose more of your blade. This is especially useful if you are working with larger pieces of wood.
One feature we like is the viewing windows. It allows us to easily see the blade's response during tracking adjustments.
The band saw's high cutting capacity and large tables make it easy for you to line up several pieces in one row.
While using a bandsaw, or any other powered saw, drill press, planer, do not wear gloves. Gloves will not protect your hands and give you a false sense security. If the material is caught, the gloves could actually cause your fingers to be pulled into the blade.
When choosing a bandsaw, the first thing to look at is the depth of cut as well as the throat. The depth of cut refers to the distance between the table and the upper blade guides. This feature is often a selling point for band saws. It tells potential buyers how thick stock can be cut with the saw.
The larger the blade, the deeper and more extensive the maximum cut will be. A 10-inch mitersaw will cut a 2-x6 at 90 degrees, and a 2-x4 at 45 degrees. A 12-inch mitersaw will cut a 2-x8 at 90 degrees, and a 2-x6 at 45 degrees.
Measure the distance between the centre and the edge of each wheel to determine its radius in inches. The following formula can be used to calculate the length of a saw blade: (R1x3.1416) + (R2x3.1416) + (2xC)
While it is often a good idea to replace a dull blade by a newer one, you may find that the best value comes from simply sharpening an existing blade rather than replacing it. A typical rule of thumb is to have your blade sharpened at least twice before changing it completely.
