Slabbing LogsIntro Bandsaws are the Jekyll-and-Hyde tools of the woodshop. They appear benign and easy to operate but can be diabolical when it comes to producing repeatable results. Many woodworkers harbor deep distrust and dark suspicions about the family lineage of their saw and suspect it of having a willful soul that disrespects any project brought to it.
But in reality, the bandsaw is the most valuable power tool in the furniture shop. It can rip, crosscut, and saw curves through thick and thin material with less waste and power than any other saw in the shop. When the right blade is installed, the saw setup fine-tuned, and the proper technique used, the stars align. Truth is, a bandsaw can perform so admirably that a woodworker may wonder why he or she would need another power saw in the shop.
This book will provide all the information you need to align those stars and to make your bandsaw a joy to operate with absolutely predictable results every time you flip the switch and run wood past the blade.ISBN 978-1-60085-096-7 Video No Author Roland Johnson Publication Year 2010 Dimensions 9 3/16 x 10 7/8 Pages 208 Photo 512 full-color photographs Drawings and 42 drawings Other Formats 77847 Cover Paperback Format Paperback Additional Information
