Metal is not a material on which you can do easy cuts. It is even harder when you need to make angled or curved cuts. Cutting metal requires more skills than when cutting wood. You may hear it a lot but having a piece of basic knowledge on how the saws work can be very useful.<\/p>\n

The band saw is powerful and is usually used for cutting<\/a> thick wood. Nevertheless, there are few designed models that are equipped with more powerful blades that can cut metals.<\/p>\n

The band saw’s blade works in a looped way and it is connected to the band which goes around two wheels. The upper one contains and leads the blade whereas the bottom one alters the speed.<\/p>\n

This blade works in only one direction different from some saws<\/a> that work with an up and down movement. In general, band saws<\/a> are not produced for cutting thin metals, it is recommended that the metal must be thicker than the depth of 3 teeth of the band saw’s blade.<\/p>\n
