What is a "band saw"?
A band saw is a power tool used for cutting wood, metal, or plastic. It features a long, continuous blade that is stretched between two large wheels, which rotates to make straight or curved cuts. The blade is narrow and flexible, allowing for more intricate and precise cuts compared to some other saws. Band saws are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and even for cutting thicker materials. They are especially useful for cutting curves, resawing lumber, and making straight cuts, offering smooth and accurate results for a variety of cutting tasks.
