Custom Jigs & Work Support
A bandsaw is one of the most versatile machines in the
workshop and with careful lateral thinking many problems
encountered on a job can be overcome. By making and
using custom jigs repetitive and accurate work can easily
be achieved, the following illustrations are some examples
of typical jigs and supports used on a bandsaw.
Ex. 1. Supporting large workpieces with roller stands or
take off tables.
Ex. 2. Always support round pieces with a wedge.
Ex. 3. Use a side pressure pad for accurate cutting of
taller material.
