Question: 1 / 320

True or False: A band saw uses a push-pull motion to make cuts.

True

False

A band saw operates using a continuous loop of a toothed blade that moves in one direction—typically downwards through the material being cut. This design allows for a smooth and efficient cutting motion rather than a push-pull motion. The blade is continuously fed through the workpiece, which is usually stationary, making it ideal for various cutting applications.

While there may be specific techniques or adjustments in operation depending on the material or thickness being cut, the fundamental mechanism remains a single directional blade movement rather than a back-and-forth push-pull action.
