17.4.1
Longitudinal cutting of narrow (thin) workpieces
Longitudinal cutting is sawing parallel to the wood fibre. For rectangular cuts (table at right angles
to the saw blade), place the rip fence to the left of the saw blade to guide the workpiece safely along
the fence with your right hand. For longitudinal mitre cuts with an inclined table, attach the parallel
stop to the right of the saw band on the downward side (if the width of the workpiece permits this)
in order to secure the workpiece against slipping.
Use a sliding stick to prevent the hands from being too close to the band saw blade!
