20260042157 · 2026-02-12 ·

A bandsaw makes simultaneous, spaced-apart cuts in hard or soft materials with a single bandsaw blade. The invention is ideally suited to cutting spaced-apart parallel surfaces to form support blocks, however, different embodiment may be controlled or programmed to make parallel or non-parallel cuts at varying angles. The single bandsaw blade rides on circular wheels on both sides of a gap or passageway, such that a first portion of the blade crosses the passage along a first, upper path, and a second portion of the bandsaw blade crosses the passage along a second, lower path. A table moves the material through the passage, whereupon the material is simultaneously cut along two planes corresponding to the upper and lower paths of the bandsaw blade. A preferred embodiment includes a first set of upper and lower wheels on one side of the passage, and a second set of upper and lower wheels on an opposing side of the passage.
