The layout, shape, spacing, and use of the saw will affect the design and placement of your teeth. Let's now look at the most common tooth shapes.
Although it doesn't have the vertical blade width or blade capacity necessary to handle resawning boards this tool is a solid choice for curved cuts made in thinner materials. The price ($163) is also outstanding.
These are the most costly type of bandsaw. These are great for professionals and contractors who need to cut commercially.
This saw is driven using an electricmotor. It has a pulley, belt and drive. It makes it easy to adjust speed or make adjustments.

The band saw can be used to cut joinery and curves, as well as cut rough lumber.
The blade should be as broad as the machine allows, but narrow enough to cut the desired shape (radius) for cutting curves or radii. The blade should be as broad as the machine allows for straight cutting. To promote straighter and more precise cuts, the beam strength of the blade should be wider than it is.
Some last for six months while others can last several years. You should consider the following factors: what you are cutting; the condition of your machine and blade; how long you plan to use the blade; how you feed the wood through the saw.
While it is often a good idea to replace a dull blade by a newer one, you may find that the best value comes from simply sharpening an existing blade rather than replacing it. A typical rule of thumb is to have your blade sharpened at least twice before changing it completely.
You should place your finger between the two pulleys and in the middle of each belt. Before you touch any part of the saw, make sure it is off and unplugged. The belt should not move more than 1/4 inch.
