With the table saw having its own video in this series, this program looks at three other machine saws in a typical school woodwork shop:
the band saw - changing and selecting of the blade, a demonstration of freehand sawing, the use of relief cuts and jigs, ripping, cross cutting, and angled cuts; the radial arm saw - demonstrations include the changing of the blade, proper stance by the operator, cross cutting and special cuts, such as the dado; the compound miter saw - how it is used to make square cuts, how stops can be clamped to the fence to make multiple cuts, and how to make mitered and oblique angled cuts. Safety issues and proper operating procedures are addressed.
