The vertical metal-cutting bandsaw has a flexible continuous blade that cuts in one direction. The type of bandsaw blade to be used and the speed of the blade depends on the workpiece type, feed rate, and the form of the cut.

This type of bandsaw can be used for straight cuts, angular cuts, and curved or contour cuts.

Straight cuts are made by clamping the workpiece in a stationary position and using the gravity feed to move the blade through the workpiece. Adjustments can be made to fine tune the blade feed speed and pressure.

Angular cuts are made in a similar fashion with the workpiece clamped to the miter, which is rotated shown by the miter scale.

Contour cuts are made by removing the vise and locking the blade in the forward position. This locates the blade in the center of the table and allows the workpiece to be fed into and around the blade while remaining well supported by the table.

The blade is supported by upper and lower bear- ing blade guides that keep the blade from wander- ing during the cut.

The efficiency of the cutting operation can be eas- ily checked by examining the shape and color of the metal chips produced during cutting.
