+ | This bandsaw has a blade installed that is specifically for cutting smaller stock of non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminium), ferrous metals (e.g. steels), and plastic stock. Due to the smaller tooth pitch on the blade it is suitable for cutting smaller stock than the other bandsaw. If you are cutting aluminium or plastic stock that is suitable for the other bandsaw, please use it instead as those materials will tend to gum up/damage this bandsaws blade (and it's approximately 4x the price!). | ||
