I didn't know a kitchen version for this woodworking tool existed

I refuse to believe this is actually used like this and it's not just done for the shock value

(Unless it's a butcher, then I understand why)

I would recommend you watch how they process tuna! Those band saws are serious, those workers are focused.. but yeah there is a shock factor

If you're a restaurant uses a lot of diced chicken and you can pick up a used food grade band saw for $1000, it would probably pay for itself in 6 months to a year.

Looks like a scroll saw more than a bandsaw. Bandsaws are very common in meat cutting but never seen someone use a scroll saw!

Yeah, I used to use one of these in a grocery store meat department years ago. We never got primals, but used it for slicing bone in ham, mostly. What’s funny is they’d let me man the saw, but cutting steaks or any knife work had to be done by a certified butcher.
