Good question! The band saws for sale, here at Kendal Tools, are available in all sizes, ranging from 8 to 18-inches. In most cases, a 12 or 14-inch band saw is more than big enough for woodworkers who would use the machine as a hobby, as it will provide sufficient power in a smaller footprint. This size bandsaw is also ideal if you require curved cutting – but not in a heavy-duty capacity. If you’re going to be using your bandsaw continually for thicker pieces of wood or metal, then it’s worth opting for a larger 18-inch band saw. This band saw size is much more powerful and has a bigger motor – making it perfect for rugged cutting applications. Although an 18-inch band saw is typically used for commercial applications, that’s not to say it won’t benefit a woodworker that produces high-grade wood/metal pieces regularly.
