Default Re: Help with a bandsaw

Just a stupid question,but why do you guys use a band saw?
A scroll saw is way better for what we do.
W/a scroll you can make long cuts & also cut out little parts.
The only difference is you can walk away from a band while it cuts,but best hope it cuts where it's spoda.
Just a suggestion,try coating the blade with bee's wax.it'll cut down on the side tracking. Although,you have to coat it every 30 seconds or so.But it makes a HUGE difference in how straight the blade tracks.
Just what I've learned since being in this hobby.
