vannesåg

A vannesåg, also known as a bandsaw, is a power saw that uses a long, sharp blade stretched between two or more wheels to cut various materials. The blade is continuous and has teeth along one edge, moving in a single direction. The wheels rotate, driving the blade and allowing it to cut through wood, metal, plastic, and other substances.

Vannessågar are versatile tools and come in various sizes and configurations. Benchtop models are common for hobbyists and smaller workshops, while larger industrial machines are used in manufacturing and heavy-duty applications. The design allows for both straight cuts and intricate curved cuts, making them suitable for a wide range of woodworking and metalworking tasks. The blade tension is a critical factor for proper operation and safety.

The operation of a vannesåg typically involves guiding the material against the moving blade. Safety precautions are essential when using a vannesåg, including wearing eye protection, keeping hands away from the blade, and ensuring the material is securely held. Specialized blades are available for different materials and cutting purposes, affecting the speed and efficiency of the cut. The depth of cut is determined by the size of the wheels and the throat depth of the machine.
