Crosscutting
Crosscutting is the process of cutting across the grain
of wood. For plywood and other processed wood,
crosscutting simply means cutting across the width of the
material.
To.make.a.90˚.crosscut,.do.these.steps:
1. Mark the workpiece on the edge where you want to
begin the cut.
2. Adjust the blade guide assembly to the correct
height and make sure the miter gauge is set to 0°
(or other angle for angled cuts).
3. Move the fence out of the way. Place the workpiece
evenly against the miter gauge.
4. Hold the workpiece against the miter gauge and line
up the mark with the blade.
5. After all safety precautions have been met, turn
the bandsaw ON and wait for the blade to reach full
speed.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade and
continue the cut until the blade is all the way
through the workpiece.
