How to run your Wood Bandsaw

Lay one of the 22-2/4" uprights on a work table. Place a bottom brace against the upright so that the upright forms the base of an L. Drill two holes through the upright and into the bottom brace, making sure to hold the pieces square while you drill. Use wood glue and two 6" lag screws to attach the bottom brace and the upright. Flip over the L and attach another upright to the other end of the bottom brace, forming a U-shaped assembly. Use the same method to attach the top brace to the uprights, forming a rectangle.

IS A MANUAL BAND SAW RIGHT FOR YOU?

  • A manual saw lets you control the cutting cycle at your own pace. They’re perfect for small production runs and one-offs.
  • Manual saws are often less expensive than semi-automatic or automatic saws.
  • Need a saw that manages the cutting cycle without operator control? Check out our semi-automatic band saws.
  • If you need a saw that handles bundling and transitions between cuts, go with an automatic band saw.
