Every tool and die, precision machining, aerospace and injection mold making shop has at least on metal cut of saw that uses special band saw blades. This is because almost all components start out as part of a bar stock that must be sawed off in order to proceed to the next step. This procedure is more important than often realized. Because it is such a common and inexact operation, it is taken for granted. Many hours of machining could be saved by using a more precise sawing operation, simply because there is less stock to mill and square up.
