Review the following tips to help you safely and 

effectively operate your bandsaw and get the 

maximum life out of your saw blades.

•  Use the work stop to quickly and accurately

cut multiple pieces of stock to the same 

length.

•  Let the blade reach full speed before

engaging the workpiece. Never start a cut 

with the blade in contact with the workpiece.

•  Pay attention to the chips produced by the

cutting operation and use their appearance 

to fine-tune the blade speed, feed speed, 

and pressure (refer to the Chip Inspection 

Chart on Page 27).

•  Wait until the blade has completely stopped

before removing the workpiece from the vise, 

and avoid touching the cut end—it could be 

very hot!

4.  Adjust the valve on the coolant hose to 

control the flow of coolant (see Figure 35). 

Make sure that the pressure is not so high 

that coolant spills on the floor and creates a 

slipping hazard.
