Bandsaw machines are widely used by woodworkers and automobile industries for easy and smooth cutting. These machines can cut and re saw effectively if the operator knows the tricks. Find the tricks to get the most out of your bandsaw machines in the article.

What most of the people know is that bandsaw machines are used for wood and metal cutting. But do you know these machines can perform one more task perfectly: re-sawing. If used properly, bandsaw machines can cut thin slices from t board standing on bandsaw table.

As mentioned, if used properly; you need to be aware of the right tricks and techniques to get the most out of your bandsaw machine. The first requirement for this is a selection of right bandsaw machines. You need to closely check the specifications of different machines and match these with your cutting requirements. For instance, if you want to cut curves in thinner material, you need to pay close attention to the throat depth of the machine you choose. Small bandsaw might not help you get the drafted cut. Throat depth is important consideration only for cutting not for resawing.

You also need to check the boards you want to cut. For large parts of furniture, you can’t manage with a small bandsaw machine as it will limit the width of the cuts. With a normal 14-inch blade, you will have to put extra auxiliary support to get precise cuts. If your objective of buying bandsaw machine is resawing, you should double check the distance between the table top and the upper blade guide. Make sure these two have the maximum distance for re-sawing of wide boards.

Selection of right machine type is also important to get the maximum output and perfect cuts from the bandsaw machines. For this, you need to analyze your requirements and the metal quantity. For small workshops you can manage with vertical bandsaw tool, but if you run large manufacturing unit or have large scale industries, horizontal bandsaw machine is the right choice. It will not just speed up your process, but will also help you get better cuts with minimum efforts.

Besides bandsaw machines, selection of right blades also makes a lot of difference in cutting and resewing process. You should buy the blades in the right quantity, to ensure availability of blade in case of breakage, as it is guaranteed in cutting process. Timely replacement of the bandsaw blades ensures uninterrupted cutting with better productivity. You can save money by shopping for the bandsaw machines and blades from the same manufacturer or supplier. You can also get customized blades from the selected vendors. Also make sure you buy right blade for different materials. Never try to manage with a metal cutting blade for wood cutting or vice versa.
