What is the use of the vertical band sawmill?

The saw blade of a vertical band sawmill is a thin, flexible strip of steel with teeth on one edge, and it runs vertically up and down through a slot in a table or frame.

The log is positioned against the table or frame, and the blade is lowered onto the log to make the cut. Vertical band sawmills are commonly used in sawmills, lumberyards, and woodworking shops to create lumber for building and furniture making, as well as for producing specialty products like veneer, flooring, and decorative trim.

Vertical band sawmills can also be used to cut other materials like plastics, foam, and metal, making them versatile tools for a range of industries. Some vertical band sawmills are portable, allowing them to be easily transported to remote locations for on-site cutting of logs or other materials.
