A bandsaw is a power tool that utilizes a serrated steel blade in order to make cuts. The bandsaw's blade runs vertically between two adjustable wheels, allowing the user to make straight cuts with ease.

Bianco Bandsaw has played an integral part in the woodshop for decades, and not without good reason. They are capable of handling many different cutting jobs, including those that would be impossible for other machines.

Here are 10 reasons you need a bandsaw in your shop:

1. A bandsaw is an extremely versatile machine.

3. A bandsaw is great for resawing lumber (cutting larger pieces of wood into smaller pieces).

4. A bandsaw can be used as a sawmill (cutting logs into boards).

5. A bandsaw can make quick work of cutting dovetails joints.

6. A bandsaw is perfect for scroll work and other decorative projects.

7. A bandsaw can cut irregular shapes and curves with ease, allowing you to create custom jigs and fixtures to suit your needs in the shop.

8. Bandsaws are safer than table saws because there is less chance of kickback, which can cause serious injury
