The band saw is one of the most versatile tools in the shop. It can cut curves, rip, crosscut, resaw and cut in 3-D… but, only if it’s tuned properly!

Wood Works’ David Marks takes you step-by-step through the process of setting up your band saw to get the best from this essential tool. Adjusting for blade drift, balancing the wheels and setting your guides are just some of the tips David offers.
