A wood bandsaw is one of the most versatile tools in a woodworker's arsenal. It can be used for cutting curves, ripping lumber and crosscutting short pieces. The second most common use for stationary band saw is resawing or slicing through lumber into thinner slabs that are more aesthetically pleasing to see than just rough cuts left by other means like hand saws or axes. A band saw for woodworking also makes smoothest cuts possible with an appropriate blade attached--even smoother than those made on jigsaws! And when you're using something as useful as this, who doesn't want their workpiece looking its best? But what may not come intuitively at first glance about a stationary band saw: they aren't just limited to working exclusively with wooden materials by changing out the blade other more abraisve materials can be cut.
