Band saw is one of the most important machines used in industries and workshops. Band saw cutting is one of the types of cold cutting methods. which is always one of the most used methods used in cutting all kinds of materials due to its easy use, high speed and considerable accuracy.
The band saw machine was used for the first time in 1808 in England to cut wood, and gradually it was used in the metal industry to cut all kinds of metals such as alloy steels, all types of profiles and construction steels, as well as metals such as copper, aluminum, brass, etc. Due to very low wastage and high accuracy and speed, it was further developed. In this device, a metal saw whose teeth are designed in a very precise way for a specific cut is attached to a steel body that is flexible and strong at the same time. which is resistant to stretching.
The high efficiency of this device as well as the unique adaptability of these devices and the blades used in it for various purposes have made this device one of the most important and efficient devices required by industries. In such a way that every small factory or workshop needs to use one of these types of machines.
Band saw machines, like all industrial machines, have advantages and advantages as well as limitations, among which the advantages of these devices can be the cheapness and portability of many models, the ability to use for cutting a variety of materials, high speed, extreme accuracy, and waste. very little and maintaining the original properties of the cut piece as well as very easy operator, he pointed out.
Among the disadvantages of using band saw machines, we can mention such things as movement limitations in different X-Y directions and size limitations in cutting sections. Also, choosing the right saw blade for cutting depends on the material and size, and how to attach the workpiece to the machine, as well as the model of the machine. For example, it is not possible to cut both wood and metal with the same type of saw blade. Or it is not possible to cut a saw blade from 10 mm to 500 mm with one type of tooth.
