I have a sears band saw that does not tilt. How are you using the tilt? Are you using this instead of a scroll saw? I cant seem to cut straight lines with my band saw, I think I am just going to get a pair of small chop saws one for cutting small wood and one for metal. Any thoughts on that?
if you rush the cut the blade will walk on you slow and steady wins the race what model do you have ? i still use my scroll nat as much since i got my band saw
I don't use my scroll saw at all because it's possessed by the ghost of some allied captain! It'll start to cut then just rip the would out of your hand and fling it around, and since I'm cutting small stuff chances of losing a finger are about 97%. You don't actually tilt the blade, but the table. I'm not sure what model you have, but the tilt control for Monks and mine is on the back (if your facing the teeth of the blade), I believe under the table. Either that or on the side near the blade... can't remember.
[}] It’s not just any ghost it’s Chester William Nimitz and it’s not your finger or your hand he is looking for better keep your neck away from that blade Muhaaahaaa [] It is under the table behind blade
Luckily Yamamoto seems to be in control of the band saw, as it works almost flawlessly and better than I would have suspected - but takes alot of planning to get it set up right.
LOL no I just used my scroll saw Nimitz likes me I fly the correct colors [] I will the next time I'm at sears if they don’t have it I guess I will order it
