Types of Woodworking Band Saw Machines​

A band saw machine is a power tool that uses a long, continuous band of toothed metal stretched between two or more wheels to cut  wood, and lumber with precision. These machines are known for their versatility, capable of straight cuts, curved cuts, and resawing, and come in various configurations from manual to fully automatic CNC machines for both industrial and professional use.

Types of machines

Manual: Operated by hand for less demanding tasks.

Semi-automatic: A step up in automation for more efficient operation.

Fully automatic/CNC: Computer-controlled machines for high precision, speed, and serial production in industrial settings.

Horizontal vs. Vertical: Blades can be oriented either vertically or horizontally, depending on the machine and the task.
