Saw table, band saw apparatus and a method for sawing

A saw table for use in a band saw apparatus, comprising:

• a saw table frame;
• transport rollers that together define a substantially horizontally oriented transport surface on which a workpiece is transportable in a transport direction, wherein the transport rollers are positioned in a transport range that, viewed in the transport direction, extends over some distance upstream and some distance downstream of a neutral plane that extends vertically and perpendicularly on the transport direction, wherein the transport range comprises a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side that extend parallel to each other in the transport direction, wherein the transport rollers are upwardly and downwardly movable between an upper position in which the transport rollers can support and transport workpieces, and a lower position;
• workpiece support elements that are positioned in gaps between successive transport rollers, wherein upward facing sides of the workpiece support elements are at a higher level than upward facing sides of the transport rollers when the transport rollers are in the lower position, and wherein the upward facing sides of the workpiece support elements are at the same level or at a lower level than the upward facing sides of the transport rollers when the transport rollers are in the upper position, wherein the workpiece support elements are configured to leave a saw band workrange clear, wherein the saw band workrange is formed by a three-dimensional space in the form of a right prism with a triangular, horizontally oriented base, wherein the triangular base has an apex that is substantially positioned in a vertical plane in which the first longitudinal side extends and wherein the apex is positioned in the neutral plane, and wherein the triangular base has a base line that is positioned in a vertical plane in which the second longitudinal side extends, wherein the three-dimensional space of the saw band workrange extends above the transport surface and at least over a predetermined distance below the transport surface.
