What is a trunnion on a band saw?
Trunnions allow the table’s axis of tilt to be aligned with the surface of the table so that the top of the table doesn’t move side-to-side with respect to the blade as it’s tilted. But if you are building this bandsaw, a temporary table is necessary so you can use the bandsaw to cut the trunnions for the actual table.

What is bandsaw throat size?
The throat is the distance from the blade to the vertical frame section of the body of the saw. This distance determines the width of cut that can be completed on the band saw. The throat on a free-standing cabinet band saw typically exceeds the 12 to 14-inch throat of smaller, bench-top models.
How is bandsaw size determined?
