Bandsaw – Wood/Plastic

A band saw is generally used as a woodworking tool and with its narrow blade, is suitable for making straight or curved cuts (at which it excels) and is a relatively safe power tool when used with appropriate caution. A bandsaw is also an effective cutting tool for plexiglass for crafting projects.
