Band saws have an appropriate name as, with a circular design, a straight blade completes the band of the saw’s shape. When cutting materials, band saws are needed for more heavy duty work, including cutting materials in HVAC, electrical, contracting, and piping jobs. As these industries often involve a combination of metal, plastic, and wood surfaces, a saw is needed to cut through all of these basic materials accurately, and a band saw, with a thin, straight blade, is capable of doing just that. While the type of band saw blade for wood or metal may need to be switched for various jobs, the basic design and function is similar for all band saws. Our selection of band saws includes designs by Makita and Hitachi, with lightweight options available. Use them independently or as bench top band saws, our band saws are all portable models.
