Uses of Bandsaw Machines
The bandsaw machine is used for external and internal sawing. With the use
of attachments, the bandsaw machine can also serve a variety of other
functions.
Band files and polishing bands can be used in place of the
bandsaw blade for filing and polishing operations.
A disk cutting
attachment permits the cutting of true circles.
An angular blade guide
attachment is furnished with most bandsaw machines. This attachment twists
the bandsaw blade so that large or long workpieces that would not normally
clear the bandsaw machine column can be cut. A miter guide attachment can
be used to guide the workpiece at any convenient angle.
