Vertical bandsaw machine

In vertical bandsaw machines, the cutting position of the blade is vertical. A typical vertical bandsaw machine is driven by an electric motor through a belt transmission. The belt allows adjustment of the blade speed. The blade rotates on a fixed track between the idler wheel mounted above the worktable and the drive wheel mounted beneath the work table and cuts into the side of the stock. The stock is moved against the blade to make the cut. To allow mitered cuts, the table can be tilted front-to-back or sideways. Since the machine can weld its own blades, internal cutting is possible.
