Big Tool For A Little Job ~ The Band Saw

If you remember the last post, a ring box was cut apart. 

It was sitting on the table top of this band saw. This saw 

is 7 feet tall, and if you look closely, you’ll see that little 

ring box. That’s why I say a big tool for a little job.

The blade is one continuous small steel band. The blade 

for this saw is 111 inches long. That’s over 9 feet long. 

It rides on two wheels. One above the table and one below. 

They remotely resemble bicycle wheels and tires.

More Ring Box Pieces

Well he’s finally back you’re thinking. At the last look there were 80 blanks and sides stacked up ready to cut. Above is what it looks like on the band saw after the cutting procedure is complete. I am left with three pieces, the lid, the body, and the waste (or is it ?) in the middle.
