The ___ saw cuts with a revolving strip of metal that has teeth.

• A. Band
• B. Circular saw
• C. Jigsaw
• D. Reciprocating saw

Answer: (A)

A band saw uses a continuous loop of metal with teeth that runs around two wheels under tension. That revolving strip is what does the cutting as it travels through the material, which is why this option fits the description perfectly and is especially known for handling curved cuts as well as straight ones. A circular saw, in contrast, uses a round disk that spins on a single axis. A jigsaw uses a narrow blade that moves up and down, not a loop. A reciprocating saw drives a blade back and forth in and out, also not a continuous looping blade.
