A bandsaw brings a continuous blade to the workpiece for straight cuts, curves or stock cutoffs, depending on the machine. Start with the material: a woodworking saw, a metal cutting saw and a model designed for both can have very different blade speeds and setup requirements.

For woodworking, compare resaw height, throat depth, blade width range and the fence. For metal stock, check round and rectangular capacities, miter limits and feed control. Orientation describes how the machine operates; horizontal/vertical capability does not establish wood/metal capability.

Before choosing a model, confirm its voltage, phase, factory wiring and installation requirements. Review the exact machine specifications and matching manual for blade selection, material limits, dust collection or coolant, and the included equipment.

This opening catalog is available for comparison. Pricing, stock, and delivery arrangements will be confirmed before ordering opens.

Which measurements should I compare?

Compare both throat width and maximum cutting height (often called resaw capacity). Frame size alone does not tell you how tall a workpiece the saw can cut. Check the specifications for each model.

What power supply will I need?

Check the voltage, phase, and electrical requirements for the specific model. Review its manufacturer manual for installation requirements before ordering.

Can the same bandsaw cut wood and metal?

Check the manufacturer’s intended applications for the specific model. Wood and metal call for suitable blades and speeds; do not assume every woodworking bandsaw is also suitable for metal.

What is a bandsaw used for?

A bandsaw uses a continuous blade to make straight cuts, curves or stock cutoffs. Woodworking models can also resaw boards within their rated capacity. Metal saws may handle cutoff or contour work. The exact uses depend on the machine, blade and manufacturer-approved materials.

What is the difference between horizontal and vertical bandsaws?

Horizontal machines generally bring the blade down through clamped stock for cutoffs. Vertical machines generally let you guide the workpiece across a table. Some metal saws support both positions; that describes orientation, not the materials they can cut.
