bandsaw
Endless blade machine
A bandsaw is a power saw with a continuous looped blade running between two wheels, used for cutting curves and irregular shapes in wood, metal, or other materials.
The blade forms an endless band, allowing cuts that would be impossible with a reciprocating saw.
Bandsaws range from small tabletop models for woodworking to large industrial machines for cutting meat or lumber.
