We just got two bandsaws from our awesome members! While we're finding good spots and are learning how to use them, this page will become more detailed.
There is a larger bandsaw for wood and a smaller one for metal.

This small bandsaw does not have much power, but is nice for learning the basics and in case you just need to make some curvy cuts through thin workpieces.
We might put it in the metal workshop once it is ready to use, a metal sawblade is on its way and there is an unknown one that came with the machine.
The blade guides are very simple, just consisting of two pins for the sides and a bearing for the back of the blade.
Specs:
- blade length - 1400 mm
- max. blade with - ???
- max. blade thickness - 0.36 mm [1]
- max. cutting depth - 80 mm
