Get a Better and Easier Cut From Your Bandsaw
By rounding over the back edge of the Bandsaw blade with an emery stone or a fine file. This allows the blade to slip through the wood easier when making curved cuts. This is performed while the saw is running please use CAUTION when doing this. I use an emery stone glued to a piece of wood. This helps keep my fingers away from the moving blade. |
