A band saw which has a displaceable guard rail that covers the saw blade in the cutting region thereof above the feed table and is adapted to be displaced upward in a direction parallel to the saw blade and away from the feed table to the height necessary to allow passage of the stock that is being cut. The band saw includes apparatus for raising the guard rail the necessary height in response to exerting pressure by the stock against the guard rail in the direction of cutting, and the apparatus will then maintain the guard rail at a height conforming to the contour of the stock as the latter is passed through the saw blade. Other apparatus provides smooth movement of the guard rail during cutting operations and provides for securing of the guard rail when the band saw is not in operation.
