Eli5 Bandsaw blades

807 views

I ask this question here hoping its the right place. I found out recently that meat as well as wood is put through a bandsaw to cut up carcasses, and instantly assumed that it was a straight edge blade like a knife unlike the saw tooth blades used to cut wood. I have since looked on Google and been unable to find such a bandsaw blade. So my question is if they don’t exist, why? And if they do where do I find information about them?

A long time ago I worked at a supermarket that had a butcher department. One if my jobs was cleaning the equipment at the end of the day and they had a bandsaw that was used for cutting up large sections of meat. Getting all the meat “sawdust” out if it so that it could be sterilized was a pain in the ass.

It was almost exactly like the one you might use for wood, but it was stainless steel like a lot of food service equipment. It used a normal toothed saw band.

Your best bet if you want specific information is probably to look up a website for a food service or butcher equipment retailer.
