what are Band Saws used for?
Bandsaws are a type of tool used to make precise cuts in different types of materials, from stone to metal to plastic. They use a toothed band, usually made of hardened steel, with a series of sharp teeth on one edge. This band is wound around two motorized pulleys to move it continuously while the cut is being made.
The main features of this type of saw are as follows.
- Design versatility: Band saws are available in a multitude of sizes and capacities, making them very versatile tools for different applications and materials, from light duty to industrial saws.
- Cutting accuracy: Thanks to the continuous motion of the band and toothed saw blade, smooth and precise cuts can be made in all types of materials, which is especially useful for curved and contoured cuts.
- Adjustable power and speed: These types of saws have speed adjustments to be able to adapt it to the type of material and the desired result.
- Settings and guides: These saws usually include adjustments and guides that allow precise and controlled cuts, both in angle and height, thus facilitating cutting in different directions.
- Safety: Band saws include safety systems such as safety on/off switches, blade guards and quick braking systems.
- Work table: Some band saws come equipped with work tables on which to place the material to be cut. These tables are usually adjustable in angle and height to facilitate cutting and improve work accuracy.
