Machine configurations
 Reciprocating saws
 Horizontal hacksaw and
vertical sawing machines
 Light to heavy duty
 Simple and most
economical to operate
 Manual to fully
automatic feed
mechanisms
Machine configurations
 Circular saws
 Sometimes called cold
sawing machines
 Saw blades are large and
rotate at low Rpms
 Cutting is similar to a
milling operation due to
geometry of saw blade
Machine configurations
 Band saws
 Irregular shapes
 Very versatile
 Profile cuts
 Internal cuts
 External configurations
 Blades are continuous
 HSS - Carbide tipped
 Diamond impregnated
 Filing
