Band saw definition

A band saw is basically a type of saw.  It can be used for both woodworking and metal working, as well as a variety of other materials. The name, band saw, comes from the structure of its blade, which consists of a band of metal with teeth on it. The band rides around on two wheels stacked vertically with a space between them. Band saws are useful for cutting irregular shapes. The thickness of the blade determines the radius of a curve that can be cut on a saw.
