Success with Bandsaws

One of the most accessible workshop power tools is also one the most versatile: the bandsaw. And this new entry in the popular Success with series explores the many creative possibilities of floor-standing, stand-mounted, and portable bench-top models. With these practical instructions and color photographs, woodworkers can quickly master basic skills such as ripping, cutting angles, and mirror cutting, then practice advanced procedures like making dovetail, mortise and tenon joints and cutting variable-curve edges—and even make their own money-saving jigs and templates. There’s also basic information on bandsaw anatomy, blade selection, initial set up, routine and periodic maintenance, dust control techniques, and workshop safety.
