The two-speed selection allows you to cut materials in the desired amount of aggressiveness. While the dual voltage motor can be wired up for either a standard 110 volt or 220 volt outlet, it is also compatible with the standard 110-volt and 220-volt plugs. This is a smart decision for renters because it can be hard to find a rental with 220-volt outlets.

The three-tooth rule is the best way to get the best TPI (teeth/inch) and the smoothest cuts. There should be no more than three teeth and no more than 24 teeth involved in a cut. Too many teeth can cause the workpiece to become splintered if there are not enough.
To stabilize the cut, use the back of your blade. Bandsaw blades leave a rough trail. You can smoothen the surface by gently twisting the workpiece until the blade's back rides along the kerf.
When not in use, release blade tension. This helps to prevent the blade from stretching and deforming rubber or urethane band saw tires. The operator will increase blade tension in order to compensate for a stretched blade, which can lead to increased blade break risk.
The bandsaw can make wider, more complex cuts. While the jigsaw makes narrower cuts, it is capable of making larger cuts. A jigsaw can create curves of any kind, while the bandsaw is responsible to re-saw with manual tools or table saws.
When it comes to cutting through thick material and cutting curves, the band saw is undisputed champion. Small band saws are capable of cutting through lumber up to four inches thick. Larger saws can handle six-inch cuts.
