One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to
cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stack-
ing a number of workpieces together. However,
before making stacked cuts, ensure that the table
is perpendicular (90°) to the blade—otherwise,
any error in this setting will be compounded in the
workpieces.
To complete a stacked cut:
1. Align workpieces from top to bottom.
2. Secure all pieces together in a manner that
will not interfere with cutting. Hot glue on the
edges works well, as do brad nails through
the waste portion. (Be careful not to cut into
the brads or you may break the blade!)
3. Lay out the shape you intend to cut on face of
top piece.
4. Make relief cuts perpendicular to outline of
your intended shape in areas where changes
in blade direction could strain woodgrain or
cause blade to bind.
5. Cut stack of pieces as though you were cut-
ting a single piece. Follow your layout line
with blade kerf on the waste side of your line
(see Figure 41 for an example of a stacked
cut setup).
