If you're buying three major pieces of equipment for your workshop, the third should be the band saw. In our workshop, the band saw is located outside the machining area, on the second corner of the work triangle. It is used much like the table saw, but typically for working with smaller pieces of wood.
The name derives from the cutting blade, which is in the form of a band wrapped around a rotating wheel. The table on the band saw can be angled left or right for making mitered cuts. The band saw can also be used to make circle cuts and take care of other fine woodworking needs.
Larger pieces of wood can also be accommodated on the band saw simply by raising the upper guide. This feature is particularly useful for splitting a board down the middle, resulting in two book-matched pieces.
