— If blade lead is still present, repeat Steps
1–5 until cutting results are satisfactory.
1.
Cut a straight and parallel wood board
approximately
3
⁄
4
" thick x 3" wide x 16" long.
Tip:
Cut your board out of a new piece
of
3

" plywood, using a table saw. The
straight "factory edge" of the plywood will
ensure accuracy during the following steps.
Alternatively, you can use a jointer and table
saw to straighten a piece of scrap wood.
2.
On wide face of board, draw a straight line
parallel to long edge, similar to layout line
shown in Figure
72.
3.
Slide fence out of the way and cut along
layout line halfway through board. Turn
bandsaw OFF and wait for blade to stop. Do
not move board.
4.
Clamp board to bandsaw table, then slide
fence over to board so it barely touches one
edge of board.
