Band Saws

New Band Saws

Our selection of new band saws includes machines suitable for everything from smaller woodworking workshops through to professional and industrial environments.

Compact models can provide an effective solution where workshop space is limited, while larger machines offer increased cutting capacity for thicker timber and more demanding applications. Our range includes professional Woodfast band saws as well as larger Panhans machines designed for high-capacity woodworking.

When choosing a new band saw, it is important to consider the type and size of material you intend to cut, the required cutting height and width, available workshop space and how frequently the machine will be used.

Used Band Saws

A used band saw can provide a cost-effective way to add machinery to your workshop or replace an existing machine. Calderbrook supplies used woodworking machinery alongside our new equipment, with availability changing regularly.

If you are looking specifically for a second-hand or used band saw, view our [used band saws] collection to see the latest machines available.

Professional and Industrial Band Saws

For businesses carrying out regular or high-volume cutting, a professional or industrial band saw can provide the additional capacity and performance required for demanding applications.

Larger machines can offer increased cutting heights, wider throats and more powerful motors, making them suitable for larger sections of timber and production environments. Our range includes high-capacity Panhans band saws alongside heavy-duty Woodfast models.

For particularly demanding applications, we also offer specialist machinery such as band resaws and high-capacity band saw equipment.

Woodworking Band Saws

A woodworking band saw is a versatile machine that can be used for a variety of timber-cutting applications. Depending on the machine and blade fitted, band saws can be used for straight cuts, curved cuts, shaping and resawing.

They are widely used in furniture manufacturing, joinery, cabinet making and general woodworking. A suitable band saw can also be useful when cutting larger sections of timber that would be difficult to handle with other types of workshop saw.

The size and specification of the machine you need will depend on the material being cut and the type of work you carry out.

Choosing the Right Band Saw

There are several factors to consider when choosing a band saw. The correct machine will depend on your application, available space and the size of the material you need to cut.

Important specifications to consider include:

Wheel size – generally gives an indication of the overall size and capability of the machine.
Cutting height – determines how thick a piece of material can be cut.
Throat capacity – determines the maximum width of material that can be accommodated.
Motor power – affects the machine's ability to handle demanding cutting applications.
Blade size and type – different blades are suited to different materials and cutting requirements.
Resaw capacity – important if you need to split thicker boards or timber into thinner sections.
Workshop space – the machine's footprint and access requirements should be considered before purchase.

If you are unsure which band saw is appropriate for your requirements, our team can discuss your application and help you identify suitable machinery.

Band Saw Applications

Band saws are used across a wide range of woodworking and manufacturing applications. Depending on the machine specification, common uses include:

Furniture manufacturing
Cabinet making
Joinery
General woodworking
Timber cutting
Resawing
Curved and irregular cuts
Production work
Industrial woodworking

Different machines are designed for different workloads, so it is important to select a band saw based on the materials, dimensions and volume of work involved.
