It's versatile and can be used to tackle or expand any project you might have in your shop.
Bandsaws are versatile tools. They are best used for making curved cuts and ripping raw material. They don't have as much kickback as table saw blades. Instead, the blade moves downward.
It has many uses, including resawing large lumber pieces, processing small logs and making veneers.

Band saws don't have to be the only tools that can make complicated cuts. However, they are perhaps the easiest to operate.
They are also used by contractors and builders to cut small pieces. These types of saws can be used on both metal and plastic.
This type of bandsaw has a horizontal cutting position. This means that the idler & drive wheels are positioned along the length of the saw.
It doesn't come equipped with multiple speeds. It doesn't even come with a base.
When not in use, release blade tension. This helps to prevent the blade from stretching and deforming rubber or urethane band saw tires. The operator will increase blade tension in order to compensate for a stretched blade, which can lead to increased blade break risk.
To turn your sawsaw into a mill, you'll need to create a bracket that will support the log being cut. These are simply two pieces 3/4" of wood, nailed together at 90 degrees to prevent the log from rolling. Long screws are used to attach the log to the outrigger.
Never press on the back of the piece with your thumb or fingers. Do not reach across the blade. Do not make any cuts while the blade is still coasting. Protective cover should not be removed unless authorization is given by technician or WRL Manager.
