Operation of the Wood Band Saw
To set the stop parallelism, loosen the screws (H,
Fig.67), set the stop and then fix it again.

9.7 Connection to an exhaust system
The band saw offers a dust connection. When sawing
wood, it should be connected to a suitable extraction sy
-
stem.
Fig. 68: Suction
If no suction system is connected to the band saw, the
wood chips accumulate in the drawer below the lower
belt roll.
This drawer must be emptied after use and cleaned re
-
gularly.

9.8 Types of cuts
Longitudinal cuts
The longitudinal cuts are sawing along the workpiece
grain. It is possible to saw along a torn line without a rip
fence or along the rip fence for a better result.
For right-angled cuts (the table is at right angles to the
band saw blade), the rip fence is placed to the left of the
band saw blade so that the workpiece can be guided
safely along the fence with the right hand.
In the case of longitudinal mitre cuts with an inclined ta-
ble, the rip fence must be fitted to the right of the blade
on the downward side (if the width of the workpiece per-
mits this) in order to secure the workpiece against slip-
ping.
Cross sections
Cross-section is the sawing at right angles to the grain of
the wood. This type of cut can also be carried out without
a rip fence.
Freehand cuts
The ease with which curved cuts can be made is one of
the outstanding features of a band saw. For curved cuts,
choose a band saw blade with a width that can cut the
smallest radii in your workpiece. For freehand cutting,
you should work at a low feed rate so that the saw band
can follow the desired line. Make sure that you do not
push the workpiece sideways out of the cutting line. This
will cause the saw band to run and jam in the cutting
groove.

Tips and recommendation
It can often be useful to remove excess material
about 10 mm from the cutting line. In the case of very
tight radii, which the saw blade can no longer cut pro-
perly, cuts at right angles to the curve line and at a
small distance from each other can help. When
sawing the radius, the material falls off so that the
saw band cannot jam.
