Metal band saw machine

Listing ID #3703084

As the name implies, bandsaw machines are saws that consist of a continuous metal band (called the bandsaw blade) that rides on two wheels rotating in the same plane. A bandsaw machine contains a round and serrated blade, and can be used to process wood, metal and various other materials. Depending upon the lateral flexibility and the width of the band, a bandsaw machine can be used for straight, irregular or curved shape cuts. However, bandsaws are mostly used to cut irregular shapes. Bandsaws produce uniform cutting action as a result of an evenly distributed tooth load. These machines can be powered by many sources like wind, steam or electric power; the latter being the most preferred source nowadays.
