[Noisebridge-discuss] Bandsaw status

[Don French]

Actually, I kind of doubt it.  Metal-cutting band saws are usually made
specifically for, um, cutting metal.  I believe that they operate at higher
speeds than wood-cutting saws and usually have a source of lubrication and
cooling to prevent overheating.  Some have brushes that continually clean
the blade of burrs.
