Abstract
A power transmitting structure for a band saw includes a first and a second shaft, and each of the two shafts has a plurality of gears engaged with each other so as to transmit a power of a motor with several sets of speed options. Each of the gears freely mounted to the second shaft has a notch defined in an inner periphery defining a central hole thereof. The second shaft has a third shaft movably received therein which is controlled by a control member connected to a knob. The third shaft has a pawl member pivotally disposed thereto in the second shaft which has a slot defined through a peripheral wall thereof so that the pawl member is selectably engaged with one of the notches. The second shaft has a toothed portion to engage with a rotating part to which a band saw member is connected.
