A band saw kit including a band saw and an angle guide. The band saw includes at least one wheel for supporting a saw blade, a motor operable to drive the blade to cut a workpiece, a frame, and a workpiece bumper coupled to the frame. The workpiece bumper includes a slot configured to receive the blade, a first engaging surface defining a first plane, and is configured to be generally perpendicular to the blade as the blade passes through the slot. An angle guide is configured to be coupled to the workpiece bumper and includes a second engaging surface for engaging a workpiece. The second engaging surface defines a second plane. A cut angle is defined by an angle between the second plane and the first plane when the angle guide is coupled to the workpiece bumper.

In a band saw that is provided with a tension adjustment mechanism in which tension for an band saw blade can be adjusted, first and second wheel support shafts are provided in paired first and second wheel support portions, respectively, such that the first support shaft is parallel to the second support shaft. The first wheel support portion is configured to be movable in a direction in which a straight line extends, the straight line being perpendicular to both the first and second wheel support shafts. A first support is provided at a first end of the first wheel support portion, and a second support is provided at a second end of the first wheel support portion. Furthermore, an intermediate support is provided between the first support and the second support. A first load and a second load are configured to be applied to the second support and the intermediate support, respectively, such that the first load and the second load are parallel to the wheel support shaft and the direction of the first load is opposite to that of the second load.

A reaming apparatus for reaming pipe may include a body having a planar front surface, an annular groove defined in the planar front surface of the body and concentric with a center of the body, and a straight groove defined in the planar front surface of the body, radially aligned with the center of the body, and intersecting the annular groove. The straight groove may pass through the center of the body. The reaming apparatus may include a reaming blade having a planar front surface and at least one notch defined in the planar front surface of the reaming blade, the at least one notch being positioned on the reaming blade to substantially align with the annular groove when the reaming blade is disposed within the straight groove. The reaming apparatus can be removably mounted to a pulley of a bandsaw to ream pipe under the power of the bandsaw.

A handheld band saw includes a housing, a handle coupled to the housing and configured to be grasped by a user during a cutting operation, a motor supported by the housing, and a drive wheel assembly rotationally driven by the motor. The drive wheel assembly at least partially disposed within the housing. The band saw further includes a saw blade driven by the drive wheel assembly. The saw blade is configured to cut a workpiece during the cutting operation. The band saw further includes a pipe reamer attachment coupled to the drive wheel assembly. The pipe reamer attachment is configured to deburr the workpiece after completion of the cutting operation.

A hand-held band saw has a housing having an opening defining a cut zone. A first wheel and a second wheel are supported by the housing. The first and second wheels define a blade support portion configured to support a continuous blade to be driven through the cut zone. A handle extends from the housing, the handle having a grip portion. A blade guard is coupled to the housing and configured to move between open and closed positions with respect to the housing. The blade guard is configured to cover the blade support portion in the closed position. A chip vent is configured to provide an outlet for workpiece debris formed during a cutting operation, and a tire brush is configured to engage at least one of the first or second wheels to remove workpiece debris from the at least one of the first or second wheels.

A band saw with an expanded cutting section is provided. The band saw includes left and right semicircular shaped bearing assemblies. A saw blade overlaps the left and right semicircular bearing assemblies. An external housing encloses the left and right bearing assemblies and the saw blade. The expanded cutting section is carved into the external housing and extends in between bottom tips of the left and right bearing assemblies.
