The most common modern means of powerful band saws is electricity, however in the past they have been powered by animal power, steam, wind and water as well. The band rides on a set of two wheels that have a space between them. The most common uses for band saws are wood working purposes, metal working, and for cutting a wide variety of other materials.

The width of the band on the band saw is what determines the radius of the curve that is capable of being cut. When cutting heavy materials like metals, most band saws require coolant to keep the blade cooled constantly. When the blade is allowed to remain cool, blade life is prolonged. Wood cutting band saws do not require a constant supply of coolant, but it is still vital that their blades are kept cool to keep them in good shape for a lot longer.
The band saws found in machine shops tend to come in two different styles, the horizontal style and the vertical style. There are also a number of different feed and fall mechanisms, meaning that there are a number of different styles of band saws available. Feed mechanism options for band saws include gravity feed, screw feed and hydraulic feed. Fall mechanism options include single column, dual column and pivot.
