Band saw Cutting a Car in Half
Just saw this today. What's the size of this band saw ?

Bit gimmicky to me.
Cutting 1mm sheet steel is not much to spruik about...
Now if they had have sectioned the engine lengthways...
Now this is cutting http://www.theatlantic.com/technolog...-pieces/59656/Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.

When I was a youngster I was most impressed with my brother's ashtray that he made by cutting through a piston on the axis of the gudgeon.
Years later.... meh....

I knew someone who reckoned he often cut cars up using a woodworking hand held circular saw. Possibly a little dangerous?
Something I tried is cutting sheet steel with a circular saw, with the blade mounted backwards (not a tipped blade). This cuts by friction, and produces less of a burred edge.

Not impressed at all ..6mm or thereabouts of . It is no test to the capacity of the bandsaw, at all. The harmonics transmitted from the sheet steel might be interesting though.
If you think about it, the pitch of the saw teeth would be no where suited to the sheet thickness.Ie not a real market for sawing single thickness sheet metal on edge.
IMHO the clip is an out and out gimmick and does little to demonstrate the capabilities and qualities of the blade.To those who use the larger size bandsaws a lot, it wouldn't provide them a good reason to switch blades
It sounds like this company may be a new player in the market and are seeking recognition. Was it me ,deaf as a post or did the presenter offers very little in the way of information about the blade specs .its feed rate and feet per minute.
Saw a bulldozer in half - that WILL impress me.
EDIT OK ! Sawing a ship in pieces and underwater to boot,is impressive .It is almost like something from a James Bond movie .
