Abstract: A jig for bandsaws (typically meat cutting bandsaws) is described. The jig comprises a main frame (10) which is adapted by rollers (18,20) to be received in the guides normally fitted to a bandsaw to receive and guide a sliding table thereon; a sub-frame (26) movable relative to the main frame in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement dictated by the rollers (18,20); a spring (48) for returning the sub-frame to a rest position on the main frame; a magazine (32) mounted on the sub-frame (26), having a thrust member (76) slidable therealong to enable a slab of meat to be pushed forwardly along the magazine into a position in which its leading end overhangs the end of the magazine and is ready to be severed by a bandsaw blade (82). The thrust member (76) is slidable parallel to the direction of movement of the sub-frame (26) relative to the main frame (10).
