Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal bandsaw?
A. Horizontal bandsaws feature a higher cutting rate than vertical bandsaws. Horizontal bandsaws offer optimal squareness by cutting straight cuts, whereas the vertical bandsaws provide flexibility to easily cut out curvy shapes when needed. Horizontal bandsaws generally cut bigger pieces of harder metal, while the vertical bandsaws are used to cut angles & miters in softer metals.
