Band saws are most metal removing tool which can be applied to woods, plastics, aluminum and steels. In this work existing bandsaw is studied. The finite element analysis (FEA) of existing bandsaw swing frame is done. The section modulus of the section is calculated. According to conclusion drawn from analysis, a way to modify the frame is suggested. Also the FEA analysis of new bandsaw swing frame is done. The results of FEA analysis of both existing and new frame is compared considering various parameters such as vibration, deformation, speed, capacity.

Keywords: Band saw, Band saw swing frame, Section modulus, FEA
