Some tips to use a band saw

Few tools can make a job of cutting metallic tubing or other stock easier than a bandsaw. On those occasions when the stock cannot be brought to the machine, portable bandsaws offer the option of taking the machine to the work. And followings are some tips to use a band saw.
Portable bandsaws use a trigger switch similar to drills and circular saws, but usually are equipped with a separate speed selector so the sawblade moves at a speed suitable for the material you are cutting. While it is operated, use the two handles, which will allow you to guide the tool, maintaining complete control of it. And then place the sawblade against the stock to be cut, making sure the blade is parallel to the cut line you have marked, and perpendicular to the stock (if the cut is to be square, or 90 degrees). Next, start the saw by squeezing the trigger and allow the saw to cut its way through the stock you are cutting. And watch the blade to make sure it is aligned with your cut mark, and slow the cut when you are nearly through the stock so you can anticipate the blade binding if the material flexes or bends suddenly. Last, Release the trigger and allow the blade to quit moving before setting the saw down after the cut is complete.
