Criteria for selecting the correct saw band.
Narrow saw bands: Suitable for cutting tight radii.
Wide saw bands: Suitable for long straight cuts in wood. Narrow saw bands have a tendency
to follow the grain in the wood.
Saw band teeth: Fine teeth produce a fine, but slow cut.
Coarse teeth produce a coarse, but fast cut.
