A band chainsaw makes use of a blade possessing a continuous band of metal with teeth along one of the edge. The job works are kept in the cutting edge on the vertical machines. This band chain saw can be powered by wind, water, steam, electrical motor or animal power. The band rides on two wheels that revolve in the same plane. This produces a uniform cutting action, that leads to an evenly distributed tooth load.
The band saws are used for woodworking, metalworking, or for cutting a variety of other materials, e particularly used for cutting irregular or curved shapes, but can also be used to produce straight cuts. The radius of the curve can be cut on a particular saw is determined by width of band and lateral flexibility. These band saws range in throat capacity from 8" to 36", along with either two or three wheels for the blade. Blades for the home shop range from 1/8" to 1" wide, while the narrow blades are used to cut small radius curves, the wide blades are used for straight cuts such as resawing.
