Crosscutting is the process of cutting across the
grain of wood. For plywood and other processed
wood, crosscutting simply means cutting across
the width of the material.
To make a 90˚ crosscut:
1. Mark workpiece on edge where you want to
begin cut.
2. Adjust blade guide assembly to correct height
and make sure miter gauge is set to 0°.
3. Move fence out of the way. Place workpiece
evenly against miter gauge.
4. Hold workpiece against miter gauge and line
up mark with blade.
5. After all safety precautions have been met,
turn bandsaw
ON. Slowly feed workpiece into
blade and continue cut until blade is all the
way through workpiece.
Figure 43 shows a
typical crosscutting operation.

with miter gauge.
Ripping is the process of cutting with the grain of
the wood stock. For plywood and other processed
wood, ripping simply means cutting down the
length of the workpiece. For ripping, a wider blade
is better. In most ripping applications, a standard
raker tooth style will be sufficient.
To make a rip cut:
1. Adjust fence to match width of cut on
workpiece and lock fence in place.
2. Adjust blade guide assembly to correct height.
3. After all safety precautions have been met,
turn bandsaw ON. Slowly feed workpiece
into blade and continue with cut until blade
is completely through workpiece.
Figure 42
shows a typical ripping operation.
Note: If
you are cutting narrow pieces, use a push
stick to protect your fingers.

with a push stick.
NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of
cut. In the event that something unexpected
happens, your hands or fingers may slip
into the blade. ALWAYS use a push stick
when ripping narrow pieces. Failure to fol-
low these warnings may result in serious
personal injury!
