Vertical Band Saw
Feeding the Material: Once the material is placed on the worktable, it is manually fed into the rotating blade. The material can either be moved by hand or, in more advanced systems, by an automatic feed system, especially in industrial-grade machines.
Blade Speed: Vertical band saws often feature adjustable blade speeds, allowing operators to optimize the cutting process. For instance, slower speeds are often preferred for cutting metals, while higher speeds are suitable for cutting wood and plastics.
Smooth Cuts: The continuous loop of the band saw blade allows for smoother, more consistent cuts compared to other types of saws like circular saws.

Features
- Continuous Loop: The primary feature of a band saw is its continuous, looped blade that moves around two large wheels. This blade can be made of high-carbon steel, bi-metal, or carbide-tipped for different materials.
- Variety of Teeth Configurations: Blade teeth come in various sizes and shapes to suit specific cutting applications (e.g., coarse teeth for fast cutting of wood, fine teeth for metal or precision cuts).
- Replaceable Blades: The blade can be replaced when it wears out or needs to be changed for different cutting tasks.
