Multiple speed settings
Our selection of band saws feature multiple speed settings, allowing users to choose the optimal blade speed based on what material they’re working with. Different types of materials require different speed settings depending on their hardness, thickness, and other properties. For example, slower speeds may be required for harder or thicker materials to reduce the risk of damage to the blade or workpiece. With the option to change the blade speed, our range of band saws offer maximum versatility in terms of materials that you can work with.
LED work lights
Cordless handled models of band saws that we stock feature LED work lights that offer better visibility in low light conditions, allowing users to make accurate and precise cuts, no matter where they are working. These LED lights are actuated only when the tool is in use resulting in less drain on the battery.

FAQs
How can I ensure I make straight cuts with a band saw?
To make straight cuts with a band saw, it is important to use a sharp, quality blade and ensure it is correctly tensioned. Before cutting, adjust the blade speed and guides correctly. When required, use a fence or guide to help keep the cut straight. Apply only enough force to move the wood against the blade so it can do its job well without twisting. Feed the material into the blade slowly and steadily to achieve the best results.
