5.4 Locating your bandsaw
Before you remove your bandsaw from the pallet,
select the area where you will use your machine.
There are no hard-and-fast rules for its location,
but below are a few guidelines.
1. There should be an area at the front and back
of the machine suitable for the length of wood
that you will be cutting. If you intend to use your
saw for scrollwork, this may not be important but
should be considered at this stage.
2. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting, the
more accurate and safely you will be able to work

preferably concrete or something
similar.
