An electrical interlock prevents accidental startup of the bandsaw when the blade is released.
This type of bandsaw has a horizontal cutting position. This means that the idler & drive wheels are positioned along the length of the saw.
Bandsaws also allow you to adjust your speed and can make mitered, angled, or even circular cuts, depending on what the table surface is.
A portable bandsaw has a small cutting area, and is about the same size of a handheld circular saw. They are most commonly used for job-site work.
It's another heavy-duty machine, capable of professional use. It comes equipped with a builtin halogen light lamp.
The included articulating lighting work light illuminates the surface of your work and allows for proper visibility while making cuts.
Another positive thing about this saw is the ease of using the tracking adjustments. It comes with a five year warranty.
We love the viewing window. It makes it easy to see how the blade reacts during tracking adjustments.
The saw comes with a 2.5 Amp 120V motor. It operates at 2800 FPM. This is sufficient power to tackle any project.
Band saws can be used in many different ways, as you can see. You can also find them at almost every price point.
You can also use a bandsaw to do resawing. This involves sawing a piece or wood along its entire width.
An electronic interlock device prevents accidental blade startup by preventing blade tension from being released.
It measures in at 13 inches. This vertical clearance is ideal for expanding your supply of costly boards. You will also receive a 6-in. resaw fencing and a bar. (Resaw or drift bars support boards and compensates against blade drift.
A band saw's cutting capacity and large size table make it easy to line up multiple pieces in a row.
TYPE OF SAW : Circular Saw. This saw can be used to cut straight lines in dimensional lumber and plywood as well as rigid foam board and concrete. It is also a popular choice for framing, and can even replace a tablesaw on the jobsite.
Even the most well-made blades can be damaged if something goes wrong with the bandsaw. A small misalignment in bearings or guides could cause a twist to the blade as it turns. This can lead to premature breakage by applying tension in the wrong way.
Measure the distance between the centre and the edge of each wheel to determine its radius in inches. The following formula can be used to calculate the length of a saw blade: (R1x3.1416) + (R2x3.1416) + (2xC)
A band saw blade, just like any other power saw, requires tension to make straight and consistent cuts. This is particularly true for thicker slabs or denser woods. For a carbon-steel blade, the recommended tension is between 15,000 and 20,000 PSI.
Circular saw: This saw can be used to cut straight lines in dimensional lumber and plywood, rigid foam boards, and concrete. It is also a great substitute for a tablesaw on the jobsite.
