Bandsaws

Corded bandsaws feature continuous looping blades that cut curves and re saw thick stock.  Their adjustable blade guides and tilting tables provide versatility for cabinetry, joinery and metalwork.

What is a bandsaw used for?
A bandsaw is a stationary cutting tool used for making straight cuts, curves, rip cuts, resawing, and cutting irregular shapes in wood, plastic, and metal (depending on the blade). It's commonly used in cabinetry, furniture making, metal fabrication, and luthiery for its ability to cut thick material with control and accuracy.

What’s the difference between a benchtop and a floor-standing bandsaw?
Benchtop bandsaws are compact and ideal for light-duty work, smaller pieces, and limited workshop space.
Floor-standing models offer larger throat and resaw capacities, more power, and better stability—making them suitable for professional or high-volume use. The right choice depends on your material size, cutting needs, and available space.

What should I look for when buying a bandsaw?
Key features include throat depth (distance from blade to frame), resaw height, motor power, and blade size compatibility. Also consider:

• Blade tension and tracking adjustments

• Precision fence and mitre gauge support

• Cast iron or aluminum table with tilt function

• Built-in dust extraction ports
  A well-balanced wheel system and quality guide bearings ensure smoother cuts and longer blade life.
