subject: Slicing Through Most Craft Materials With Band Saws [print this page] A Band Saw is a power driven tool that comprises of metallic blades and is used for cutting various materials. It will not be an exaggeration to say that many big projects are given the final shape with the help of Band Saws. Straight, curved or any irregular cut can be given to the material by scrolling the band saw. The Band Saw machine draws the metallic blades across the machine for precise cut. There are two wheels, the drive wheel and the idler wheel, that support and drive the blades.
There are Portable Band Saws as well. As the name suggests, Portable Band Saws are very handy and can easily be ported around. But to keep them stable while cutting, it is necessary to give a support base or stand otherwise the cut will not be as precise as it is required to be.
Among different types of Band Saws, the Metal Cutting Band Saw can be further categorized into two types: horizontal and vertical machine. Horizontal Band Saw is used to cut the piece longitudinally. The position of the blade remains horizontal. On the other hand, in the Vertical Machines, the position of the cutting blade is vertical.
To cut the stock into different shapes or curves, vertical band saw is required. Here blade is stationary while metal piece is movable. This band saw is also used to cut the workpiece at various angles. Contour cutting, polishing and stock cutting can also be done by means of Vertical Band Saw.
Accessories can also be coupled with Band Saw for higher precision. Riser block is one of the accessories coupled with Band Saw to cut the thick material more precisely. Rip fence is used for the cuts at the angle of 90 degree which are straight, long and fine. But it is confined to 90 degree angle only. Miter gauge can be used for cutting through other angles.
