G0457 14" Industrial Bandsaw (Mfg. Since 5/11)
To resaw a workpiece:
1. Verify that the bandsaw is set up properly and
that the table is perpendicular to the blade.
2. Use the widest blade your bandsaw will
accept.
Note: The blade must also be sharp and
clean.
3. Use a fence to guide the workpiece.
4. Set your fence to the desired width of cut and
lock it in place.
5. Support the ends of the board if necessary.
6. Turn the bandsaw ON.
7. Using push paddles and a push stick, keep
pressure against the fence and table, and
slowly feed the workpiece into the moving
blade until the blade is completely through
the workpiece.
Cutting Curves
When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and
turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows
the layout line without twisting. If a curve is so
abrupt that it is necessary to repeatedly back up
and cut a new kerf, use either a narrower blade
or a blade with more TPI (teeth per inch), or make
more relief cuts.
Always make short cuts first, then proceed to
the longer cuts. Relief cuts will also reduce the
chance that the blade will be pinched or twisted.
Relief cuts are cuts made through the waste
portion of the workpiece and are stopped at the
layout line. As you cut along the layout line, waste
wood is released from the workpiece, alleviating
any pressure on the back of the blade. Relief cuts
also make backing the workpiece out easier, if
needed.
