Overview
The bandsaw is one of the most versatile wood
cutting tools in the shop. It is capable of perform-
ing many different cutting functions including:
Straight Cuts

Irregular Cuts
• Simple and Complex Curves

Basic Cutting Tips
Here are some basic tips to follow when oper-
ating the bandsaw:
• Replace, sharpen, and clean blades as nec-
essary and make adjustments periodically to
keep the saw always running in top condi-
tion.
• Use light and even pressure while cutting.
Light contact with the blade will permit easier
line following and prevent undue friction.
• Avoid trying to turn tight corners because
this will twist the blade. Remember, you must
saw around corners.
• Misuse of the saw or using incorrect tech-
niques is unsafe and results in frustration
and poor cuts. Remember—the blade does
the cutting with the operator’s guidance.
