It is important to remember that meat bandsaws are not intended to be used to cut other material than meat.
You can use the same saw to cut metal and wood, it's true! The only thing you need is the right blade.
This saw is made with blades of a minimum width (1/8") and measures 17-1/2 inches by-22-1/2.
Additionally, the extra-large cast steel worktable can be extended for additional stability. Assembly is not required for this saw. It is the Jet saw and comes with an extended five-year warranty.
Most bandsaw blades range in width from 1/8 to 1/2 inch. However, there are larger blades available for larger bandsaws.

These saws are commonly used to cut PVC or metal at work sites. But, with the right blade, they can cut virtually any material, even straight flush cuts. Instead of cutting depth and vertical clearance, portable saws refer to cut depth (blade width) and cut height (end to edge of the blade).
Aside from its power and size advantages, this saw offers another significant advantage: a larger workspace and positioning.
Bandsaws also allow you to adjust your speed and can make mitered, angled, or even circular cuts, depending on what the table surface is.
The blade cuts down because it is narrow. This gives the bandsaw the advantage of holding the workpiece on the table while you cut. The bandsaw is safer than a tablesaw for most cuts. The bandsaw is easy to use if you have the right blade.
The right tension is important for common carbon-steel blades. Most manufacturers recommend a tension of 15,000 psi to 22,000 psi. Manufacturers recommend a higher tension, ranging from 25,000 psi up to 30,000 psi for carbon-steel blades.
Kickback is virtually non-existent, but the motion of the blade tends not to push the work-piece against its worktable. Don't push too hard. Pushing too hard will cause the blade to move to one side or another, creating an irregular cut.
My opinion is that the table saw is the most useful tool in the shop. It should be your first major purchase. The Miter Saw is next. The miter saw is a tool that does one thing, but does it very well. The Miter saw can cross-cut wood faster and better than any other tool.
A dull blade can make it difficult to cut quickly. The slower the feed rate, the more friction the saw has with the wood and the higher the chance of making scorch marks. Saw blade burn is common when the stock is too slow to be pushed through the saw. Sometimes, a dull blade might just be dirty.
