Always wear safety glass-

es when operating the

bandsaw. Failure to

comply may result in

serious personal injury.

Stacked Cuts

Another useful operation for the bandsaw is

making stacked cuts. See Figure 54. These cuts

provide uniformity to multiple pieces.

To make stacked cuts:

1. Line up and secure the multiple pieces

together. Screws or brads in the waste por-

tion work well for this. Make sure that your

blade is absolutely square to the table.

2. Trace the pattern on the top piece. Make

relief cuts through the waste portion where

the blade will change directions.

3. Cut the stack as though you were cutting a

single piece.

Figure 54. Making a stacked cut.

Do not cut into the nails or screws that you

are using to fasten stacked pieces. This

may send dangerous debris into the air and

will ruin your blade.

To resaw, follow this basic procedure:

1. Ensure that your bandsaw is properly setup

according to the Adjustments section in this

manual.

2. Use the widest blade that will fit your saw

(1"). Also, make sure your blade is sharp and

in good condition.

3. Before cutting your workpiece, it is a good

idea to test cut a piece of scrap lumber to

make sure your bandsaw is set up properly

for the job. It is better to make any mis-

takes on scrap, than to accidentally ruin an

expensive piece of lumber.

4. Whether cutting the scrap or the actual

workpiece, feed the wood slowly and even-

ly into the blade. Do not force it!

Note: If the blade wanders when using the

fence, adjust the fence as stated in the “Blade

Lead” section on page 28.
