band saw info for you

[wapiti]

There is a video on you tube called Band Saw Clinic with Alex Snodgrass that EVERYONE should watch if they have or use a band saw. Cutting out bow staves, ripping knife scales etc this vid will help you. It goes against much of what has been taught and he explains much of the whys and hows of what is happening with a blade. It's worth your time (about 36 mins I think) He also gives demos on its use and be prepared to be amazed with his speed and accuracy. I think he has cut a few board feet of wood on one!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow..... great video.   I'm definitely gonna try out what he said about setting mine up.  Not sure about making snakes though.

I found his explanation of why saws are not built with there wheels coplaner and NOT to mess with them very effective and very interesting.

Took the time to set up my Grizzly bandsaw using those tips.
Mine wasn't even close.
Runs way smoother.

He has videos where he sells band saw products but this is just a clinic on how to set up a saw to cut better, make your blade last longer, and be more accurate over all.
