continuous sawing action. Because the direction of the blade is always downward
toward the table, there is little danger (except for special cuts) that the wood will be
thrown back at the operator, which is called a kickback. There is always danger of
kickback when a circular saw is being used.
For safety reasons many woodworkers prefer the bandsaw especially when cutting
small pieces. The unique feature of the bandsaw is that the work piece can be
rotated around the blade creating a curve. It is the tool most often used when curves
have to be cut in wood. Because the bandsaw blade is fairly thin, it can cut thick
stock with a minimum of horsepower. For this reason the bandsaw is often used
when valuable pieces of wood are made into a thin piece of veneer.
