Extensive reviews of the literature concerning principal developments in saw stability and vibration research were published in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This paper reports on the latest and most significant developments concerning optimum design, operation, and maintenance of circular saws and bandsaws. The topics to be discussed include industrial application of critical speed theory in optimization of saw design and tensioning; computer programs for circular saws and bandsaws; on-line saw stability control using various guiding systems and thermal tensioning; and computerized saw maintenance.
