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. FGD

Two things to remember when cutting a metal w/a scroll is never force feed it & don't let the blade get hot. FGD
