Description

B27B covers mechanical saws designed specifically for cutting wood and materials of similar workability, including their structural components and operational accessories. This classification encompasses various saw types such as band saws, circular saws, reciprocating saws, and frame saws, along with associated blade designs, guides, feed mechanisms, and safety devices. The scope extends to both stationary industrial sawing equipment and portable handheld saw devices used in woodworking and timber processing. Adjacent classes address general sawing machines for other materials (B23D), non-mechanical cutting tools, and downstream wood processing operations.
