Abstract
Band saw apparatus for cutting multiple workpieces simultaneously having more than two blade guide assemblies formed for sliding engagement with a continuous loop saw blade to define at least two saw blade cutting stretches. A vise assembly is also provided to separate multiple workpieces in at least two spaced workpiece retaining channels generally aligned with the saw blade cutting stretches. The band saw apparatus is particularly suitable for cutting multiple workpieces having a relatively small diameter. An improved method for cutting multiple workpieces simultaneously is also provided.
