BAND SAW BASICS

IF WOODSHOPS HELD TALENT, CONTESTS, THE BAND SAW WOULD BE VOTED MOST VERSATILE EVERY TIME. OTHER 'CONTESTANTS' EACH DO A FEW TASKS VERY WELL, BUT NO OTHER POWER TOOL COMES CLOSE TO THE BAND SAW'S RANGE OF TASKS: CROSS CUTS, RIP CUTS, RE-SAWING, CURVED CUTS, BEVELED CUTS AND EVEN SIMPLE JOINERY. THIS CLASS IS AN INTRODUCTION, AND ONCE ACQUAINTED WITH THESE OPERATIONS YOU AND THE BAND SAW WILL BE INSEPARABLE COMPANIONS IN MANY FUTURE WOODWORKING PROJECTS.
