What is an Electric band saw?

An electric band sawmill is a lumber-cutting machine that uses a continuous band blade powered by an electric motor to slice logs into boards, beams, or planks. These are typically used in sawmills, timber yards, woodworking shops, or even by enthusiasts who want to mill their own lumber.

Key Features

Electric motor drive: Quiet, efficient cutting compared with petrol engines.

Large cutting capacity: Can handle wide and tall logs (some models cut >700 mm wide).

Guided head & track system: Blade moves along rails to produce consistent boards.

Thin kerf: Band saw blades remove less material (less waste) compared with chainsaw mills.
