There are no two machines that can be used to cut wood or metal. You can use the same saw regardless of whether you are using it for metal or wood cutting. It's only the blade that is different.
Bandsaws are great for cutting wood. Band saws are very versatile for working with wood. The more you use them the better.
Because they are so different than floor-standing and bench band saws, we have saved the portable bandsaws for last.
Adjusting the lower and upper ball bearings requires no tools. JET's tool-less, easily adjustable blade guide system makes the saw easier to use and reduces downtime.
Fabricators and metalworkers need to have sawing and cutting tools because the core of fabrication relies on processing many materials. Our machines have computerized controls that ensure maximum precision and accuracy in their outputs. Metal pieces can be easily cut to different sizes and resized. These machines can be run manually or automatically.
Finally, there are meat bandsaws. These are used by butchers for large cuts and trimming.

The wrong lubricant can cause damage to your blade, clog your machine and cause material to be cut. Smooth cuts can also be achieved by using a band saw blade lubricant. Reducing friction will result in less vibration, smoother blade operation and a consistent cut.
Circular saw: This saw can be used to cut straight lines in dimensional lumber and plywood, rigid foam boards, and concrete. It is also a great substitute for a tablesaw on the jobsite.
Perfect for creating perfect circles and smooth curves, bandsaws are ideal. A thin bandsaw blade allows you to create precise curves on your piece. A bandsaw is the best tool for cutting curves such as this.
The bandsaw can make wider, more complex cuts. While the jigsaw makes narrower cuts, it is capable of making larger cuts. A jigsaw can create curves of any kind, while the bandsaw is responsible to re-saw with manual tools or table saws.
