bandsaws

Continuous blade tools

Bandsaws are power tools that cut using a continuous loop of toothed metal blade running between two wheels.

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

Bandsaws excel at curved cuts and resawing thick stock into thinner boards: I ran the lumber through the bandsaw.
