  • hi there, please could any1 help me ! i have just purchased a 350w bandsaw, i am using it to cut 20mm hardwood, it seems to work fine in a straight line but when i try and cut a curve the blade stops moving, my blade is 1425mm x 6.35mm x 0.3mm, any advice would be much appreciated, john

    usually the blade slowing while turning means that you are trying to cut too short of a curve for that width blade. for thight corners you need a narrow (front to back) blade so that it does not bind up in the cut when you turn.

    thanks for the info, whats a front to back? cheers

  • @OLDMANSBALLBAG

    Front to back is how the blade "width" is determined.
