Before you buy
- Measure the cutting height and throat width against the largest primal or frozen block you cut, since the piece has to pass under the upper blade guide.
- Check the blade length the saw takes and confirm replacement blades are easy to source, because blades wear and are changed regularly.
- Confirm the motor's voltage and phase with your electrician before ordering, since many floor-standing saws are built for 208 to 240 volt or three-phase service.
- Look for a sliding meat carriage, a gauge plate for consistent thickness and a blade guard that adjusts to the height of the product.
- Check how the wheels, blade and scrapers are cleaned, since bone dust and fat collect inside the housing during every cutting session.
Common questions
Is a meat band saw the same as a bone saw?
- In a commercial kitchen, usually yes: a meat band saw is the machine most people mean by a bone saw. It uses a continuous blade to cut bone, frozen product and large cuts cleanly. Hand bone saws are separate manual tools for occasional cuts.
Can a meat band saw cut frozen meat and fish?
- Yes, cutting frozen blocks is a common use, but the blade must suit the job. Check the manufacturer's guidance on blades for frozen product and feed the block at a steady rate so the blade does the work. Any piece taller than the saw's cutting height will not fit, frozen or not.
What safety features should a meat band saw have?
- Look for an adjustable blade guard, a pusher or push plate that keeps hands clear of the blade, and a switch that cuts power when the housing door is opened, then confirm which of these each model includes. Train staff before they use the saw, and check whether your provincial workplace safety rules set further requirements.
