Push Stick (Fig. 45)
When handling narrower workpieces, it is essential to use a
push stick (31). Always keep the push stick (31) close at hand
at the hook provided (12).
Blade Selection
Blade supplied with the bandsaw is designed for general purpose use.
•
Use a narrow blade to cut tighter radii than you can with a wider blade.
•
Wide blades are used to saw straight cuts. This is particularly important in cutting wood
because the blade has a tendency to follow the grain of the wood and thereby deviate
easily from the cutting line.
•
Finely toothed blades provided smoother cuts but are slower than coarse blades.
