Abstract: This paper deals with some factors affecting the power of a table band saw machine. Experimental results revealed that:1. Rpm is a primary factor affecting the empty power.2. The magnitude of the stresses of the saw blade is directly proportional to the empty power.3. The relationship between the saw clip slot and the empty power is in a hyperbolical manner.4. Both the height and the width of a sawtooth are directly proportional to the empty power; the front angle of sawtooth and sawteeth pitch under normal using condition has a little influence on empty power.

Key words: Band saw machine, Power, Rpm, Pitch
