Thank you. This is basically the same lesson I give to my high school students. In fact if they miss the in class demo, they are required to take home a study guide, watch this video either on You Tube or a DVD I loan them, and have their parents sign off verifying they watched it.
good thing you pointed out safety glasses. you only get one pair of eyes per life. I am not propagating hazardous working methods but there's a always a slight chance you can save a cut finger, but your eyes are priceless. you can work without a finger, but you're doomed for life if you loose your eyes. stay safe, be safe and act safe!
i used to use industrial size bandsaws, such as the Wadkin which has a 48in diameter flywheels weighing about half a tonne each. blade widths between 4-8in. A monster of a bandsaw,i love these tiny saws though. For crosscutting would you be refering to using a hardwood blade or tipped blade?. I've used bandsaws for about 10 years, so i do have a little experience with them, more with the middle size 36in flywheel though.
Just to clarify, the margin of safety is a 2" radius around the blade. It is ok technically, but not suggested to have your directly in-line with the blade. You must be able to position hands as I have done to operate correctly and safely.
Finally, if you are having trouble crosscutting, then you have a specific purpose blade. There are different blades for different operations. A 4 skip tooth design is a general purpose which blades are alternated to allow for cutting any direction.
mfg construction ftw!

@rghands711 you must be 13 in order to join youtube?, and band saws arent scary, if you wanna be scared try the table saw or something.

Hand passed the blade on the inside, that's a safety fail and bandsaws are not for crosscutting either, does no favours to the blade.
