Ripping thin strips of wood veneer is made easy when the angle of the bandsaw blade's drift is known. This woodworking video shows how to find the "drift" angle and also how to setup the fence so that uniform thin strips can be easily made on the band saw.

  • Yep nice way to square it up if you don't have a fence that will adjust..BUT YOU DO! Those two Allen screws on top of your your fence at the lock end will allow for the minimal drift angel you have ...just loosen them up set the fence to your adjustable square as you did and re-tighten...your done in 45 seconds..

  • @Stillraining1 Sure...I could easily adjust the screws on the bandsaw fence. Not all woodworkers have a fence with adjustment screws though. The principle idea of this video will work for many woodworkers that do not understand how to adjust for bandsaw drift. This system will also save many woodworkers from needlessly buying an expensive fence to cut uniform thin strips. Plus...this technique only takes 10 seconds.

  • are you going to talking in 2013 or you still in the 1930s good vid.

  • "Using the proper fence"?

    Your video shows why things happen not just expensive solutions. Thanks for jigs that most of us can afford. There are too many well off woodworkers out there and not enough people with minds like yours. Thanks again. Most of us really appreciate you help.

  • Your videos are a great source of knowledge and very inspiring but I wish you would bloody talk now and then, thanks again.

  • Awesome. Thanks for posting.
