the following tips will help you safely and effec-
tively operate your bandsaw and help you get the
maximum life out of your saw blades.
horizontal Cutting
• Use the work stop to quickly and accurately
cut multiple pieces of stock to the same
length
(see figure 18).
• Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to
ensure a straight cut through the material.
• let the blade reach full speed before engag-
ing the workpiece. never start a cut with the
blade in contact with the workpiece
(see
figure 19).
• Chips should be curled and silvery. if the
chips are thin and powder like, increase your
feed rate (refer to the
Metal Chip Inspection
Chart on page 27).
• if the chips are burned, reduce the blade
speed.
• Wait until the blade has completely stopped
before removing the workpiece from the vise,
and avoid touching the cut end—it could be
very hot!
vertical Cutting
• Workpieces that cannot be properly sup-
ported or stabilized without a vise should
not be cut in the vertical position. examples
are chains, cables, round or oblong-shaped
workpieces, workpieces with internal or built-
in moving or rotating parts, etc.
• Make sure that the vertical table assembly is
securely fastened to the bandsaw frame so it
will adequately support the workpiece.
• Always keep your fingers away from the
blade and always hold the workpiece secure-
ly in your hand (
figure 20).
• Adjust the blade guides as close as possible
to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side
blade movement.
