band saws

Continuous blade tools

Band saws are power tools that cut using a continuous loop of toothed metal blade running around two or more wheels.

The blade moves in one direction, allowing smooth, precise cuts through wood, metal, or other materials.

Band saws excel at curved cuts and resawing thick lumber into thinner boards: She used the band saw to cut the walnut into veneers.
