  • 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.

  • watched this in my construction class but my teacher still thinks you forgot a few things. a lot of kids laughed at the video

  • im like 12 and saw a bandsaw in woodshop class today and was so scared help!

  • 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.

  • Thank you, you are really good at explaining. I learn more from you than by the 7 movies I saw before this one

  • 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.

  • 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.
