Band sawing Band sawing at Midwest Metal Fabrication. Band sawing is a multipoint cutting process during which a workpiece is advanced into a moving continuous band that has cutting teeth along one edge. Using band sawing, parts may be severed from a workpiece. Band sawing can also produce irregular or curved saw cuts. The band sawing process produces a narrow cut/kerf and fine feed marks and a uniform cutting action.
