Can you rip and cross cut on a band saw?

A band saw can be used to cut curves, even in thick lumber, such as in creating cabriole legs, to rip lumber and to crosscut short pieces. The most common use for the band saw, however, is in cutting irregular shapes.

The second most common use is in resawing or ripping lumber into thinner slabs.14 Apr 2009
