Success with these tasks can be difficult to achieve if the machine is not setup properly or outfitted with the right blade. There is also a lot of misunderstanding about the bandsaw. In this seminar, learn how to setup and safely use this important tool along with proper adjustment of guides, achieving the correct tension and selecting the right blade from the many choices.
