Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may
occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
◆
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
◆
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
◆
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
◆
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
◆
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
◆
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut
through this sandwich.
◆
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
