Bandsaw Tips

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

THIS should be the model on How To Make an Instructional Video. There's no two-minute intro, no stupid music, no begging to 'like' the vid, etc. It's completely direct, to the point, and clearly explained. BRAVO!

[@tatakatakashi]

This is the kind of YT video I love - no fancy graphics - intro is literally on paper, but teaches you solid, valuable skills you can use right away. Cheers mate well done~

[@laurielyon7740]

Wonderful stuff! I’m 76 and don’t have a bandsaw. But you know…….I think it’s time I got one!

[@markb8954]

Excellent. Simple yet I learned a ton. I usually cut bowl blanks out & don’t practice enough on small items. 👍

[@DebyEnlowStagliano]

Thank you, James, for the great tips. I've had a scroll saw for years and just ordered a band saw. While waiting for it to arrive, I'm watching tutorial videos because I know there are some significant differences. This was very informative. Keep up the good work.

[@airraider]

what brand did you choose?

[@robertdixon9742]

You just taught me a lot in a couple of minutes and appreciate it. Thank you!

[@jamesjelley8159]

I just bought a new band saw and I watched your presentation, and was very impressed. Thanks. Jake

[@stevenA44]

Handy tips that I had forgot about since my high school woodshop days.

When you cut the 3 sided hole... my mind was blown... im very new to all this and it was just so perfect

Just got a bandsaw (2022)….Soaking up all this great info right now…TY😁

[@RobertSweeneyFYIAD]

Thank you, this is great content. Having that practice block (with the 90°, tight curve, etc.) Is a great way to learn and teach new techniques.

[@nigelcityfan1]

New to using a band saw and this was an excellent tutorial - THANK YOU!

[@hexmaniacmarie5654]

This is so incredibly helpful as a beginner, thank you so much!!

[@spinzwood8290]

Good tutorial IMO. It never ceases to amaze me that there are a bunch of know it alls that just have to make snarky comments. I'm a relative beginner and can always learn from how someone else does an easy job. Thanks James. Keep 'em coming.

[@dwightstewart7181]

Perhaps those "snarky" "know-it-alls" know a bit more than you, or this guy. Come on, he's using a felt tip maker to mark his lines. Did he mention that bandsaw blades come in various sizes, including ones for really tight curves? Don't judge a tutorial, or others trying to offer advice, until you're skilled enough to legitimately do so.

[@oldmanpottering]

Good points, thanks mate

[@Popknotwood]

@@dwightstewart7181 and this from someone that does not have any material or videos either

[@maxximumb]

@@dwightstewart7181 I'm guessing he used the marker so his lines showed up clearly on camera. Also the video title says tips, not the experts guide, These are all good tips for the beginner.

[@scott8351]

Thanks! Just picked up a delta, it's great. Good tips!

just started using a band saw. Got a carter guide. Wise advise given here with respect to the guide height. Even with the carter guide I forget to do check the height.

[@PeranMe]

Best tutorial on relief cuts I've seen so far! Thanks for sharing this!

[@casselsdiego]

Thank you for this quick tips, very useful!

[@mmtcbc]

Thank you very much for helping people just like this. The tutorial is very clear.

[@petersharp90]

6:12 - for me, pulling the work piece back out usually results in the blade coming off the wheels.

[@SomeDudeOnline]

Might just need to slow down and give it some wiggle wiggles but it sounds like you probably don’t have enough tension on your blade.

[@billyjay4672]

Really informative very good tip keep it up.

[@SuperskillsCoUkTraining]

That's really helpful - and very well presented!

[@Noteven0]

Brilliant! Thank you!!

[@nakusflies593]

Wow!! What fantastic tips. Boy, was I sure doing it wrong. Thanks heaps.

[@MrGman2000watts]

Great video. Would a scroll saw be better for this application?

[@sheepleslayer586]

Well done. Worth watching. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@therealdiehl4671]

I've done some wood working. Built one set of kitchen cabinets. Never have used a band saw. Been watching various videos, may be elementary but helpful none the less. To all those complainers, you can always change the channel.

[@tedfinkenauer42]

Very nice. Thank you. BTW, I actually stepped back when I saw that bandsaw sparking. Too funny

[@TheMoppersmurf]

Thank you very much for these usefull tips. That's what a beginner like me helps to start in a good way!

[@Dan-tv1sm]

Thanks for the tips, James. I will certainly use them.

[@insecteater1]

Awesome tips. But the thing which grabbed me was the captions in the beginning of the clip :D :D :D

[@MiskimVeniceJohnson]

Thank you so very much for your time and teaching me. Be blessed 🙏

[@tobyogden9302]

Btw the gullet of the blade needs to be in the centre of the crowned wheel so the guides stop it from fishtailing and that will help your accuracy

[@wheat1buck]

Nice, clean and precise presentation! BTW what width band are you using?

[@collincourtois8587]

Really appreciate this video as I'm considering purchasing my first band saw. Thanks.

[@regularfolks8285]

Is that a 1/4-inch wide bandsaw blade? They show 3/16-inch wide and 1/8-inch wide bandsaw blades for sale on the Internet. What is the horsepower of your bandsaw? I ask because it cuts the board easily. I am trying to determine if there is an under-powered bandsaw HP. size. Good video. Thank you.__ __A bandsaw seems better than a scroll-saw. Scroll-saw blades begin at 1/4-inch online. A scroll-saw has a rough, vibrating, motion of a jigsaw. Your band-saw is smooth and vibration free.

[@qbz4386]

thanku this video has made me more confident

[@davidahart2476]

Great video James, I recently purchased a used craftsman 10" bandsaw, what size blade would you recommend for a beginner? It can handle 1/8 to 1/2 " width blade.

[@markharris5771]

Thank you, I’m getting my bandsaw tomorrow with zero experience and Im sure this video is going to be very useful.

Absolutely superb tutorial. Keep sharing.

[@davo7512]

What happens if the relief cuts or small off cuts fall into the blade insert thingo

[@melodoubt]

Why are you not using a blade guard above the working part of the blade? Ouch!

[@danmoreton1788]

Good tutorial on how to use a bandsaw.

[@charliesolorzano8457]

Great video . Question when doing these types of cuts is it better to use a skinny blade or do it not matter what size bade is being used thanks

[@SomeDudeOnline]

Depends on the wood you’re cutting through and how many relief cuts you’re willing to make. Thicker wood usually calls for bigger blades. Tighter turns usually call for smaller blades.

[@PerrynBecky]

Looks good. Any tips on preventing blade drift on a cheapo Harbor Freight special? Can't afford a better saw, I'm a rank amateur woodworker, so it's still better than rocking a jigsaw.

[@ArberMakri]

Awesome tips!

[@DavidEricPrates]

Excellent demonstration!!👍🏽

[@lauramarshall6376]

Clear excellent explanation. Thanks.

[@alicerosa6766]

Thank you so much for this helpful guide, I have learned something that definitely is going to help me because I have a scroll machine and I have not much practice on it lol. This is an awesome idea👍👍😊.

Some great tips, thanks!

[@usernamemykel]

Liked and subbed. You appear to be the person who might be able to answer a question I have. I'm getting into wood carving. Besides the hand-tools, I've a 9" benchtop bandsaw. I need to be able to take a 2"x2"x12", and make two TRIANGULAR 12" lengths by cutting the length down the middle, through opposite corners. I've seen on YT folks using a table saw with its blade at an angle to make the necessary "V block" jig to cradle the 2"x2"x12" wood while being cut lengthwise by a bandsaw. However, I'n no access to a table saw. What are my options, please, to make the "V block" jig?

[@jerryquigg3497]

Put a 45 champher on a couple of pieces and glue together. Can use a plane to hand cut the champher.

[@andybranson3690]

Great video , I have watched this 3 times this week alone. Cant get my bandsaw to cut curves in both directions, any ideas? I notice my saw has two speeds , of which it is factory set at the slower speed , would this make a difference

[@LuisCasstle]

Why the long intro? 00:20 is where he begins talking.
