Product Description
Product Description
The compact and versatile bandsaw is one of the most ubiquitous workshop machines - in a small shop it may well be the only machine. Its ability to cut both straight lines and curves makes it indispensable to turners and carvers as well as to mainstream woodworkers such as joiners and cabinetmakers. This book shows you how to get the best from it by choosing the most suitable machine for your needs, setting it up correctly and selecting the most appropriate blade for the job in hand. It is full of practical information, fully illustrated in colour, and with a strong emphasis on health and safety issues. Plus, it saves time and money by helping you make your own jigs and templates.

This is a book for those who don't really know much about bandsaws. There are chapters on choosing machines and saw blades and setting them up. These are comprehensive and helpful. The second half of the book is guidance on how to use the saw - and again this seems comprehensive. If you have been using bandsaws for some time or have access to expert advice then you will not need this book, but if you are working on your own, then it it tells you exactly what you need to know.
