9.4 Making double mitre cuts (Fig. 31)
Angled cutting of a workpiece.
 Undo the securing screw (8) and the locking handle (9) under the saw bench (6).
 Tip the saw bench (6) towards the outside until you reach the angle you require.
 Tighten the locking handle (9) and securing screw (8) again.
 Push the lateral stop (29) into one of the two grooves on the saw bench (6) and set the
required angle on the scale on the lateral stop (29).
 Lower the saw band guide (22) as far as possible on to the workpiece.
 Switch on the bandsaw.
 Press the workpiece firmly against the lateral stop (29) with your right hand. Press the
workpiece flat on to the saw bench (6) with your other hand.
 Now Slide the workpiece against the saw band (14) at a uniform feed speed.
9.5 Making free-hand cuts (Fig. 32)
The most outstanding feature of a bandsaw is its facility that enables you to complete free-
hand cuts.
 Lower the saw band guide (22) as far as possible on to the workpiece.
 Switch on the bandsaw.
 Press the workpiece flat on the saw bench (6) and slide it slowly up to the saw band (14).
 Use a low feed speed for all free-Hand cuts since this will enable you to follow the required
line more easily.
 in some cases you may have to make a coarse cut approximately 5 – 10 mm away from
the actual cutting line.
 If the curve you wish to cut is too tight for the saw band (14) you are using, you must first
make auxiliary cuts up to the front edge of the curve so that these pieces of wood will fall
away when you have sawn the final radius.
