Default better bandsaw cuts


wrote in message

Is there a trick to making more accurate bandsaw cuts? Try as I might,
when I cut pieces out there is small ups and downs along the cut line.
I try to go slow and stay on the line or along one edge of it but stil
end up with some hills and valleys. My bandsaw blade is quite thin, may
1/4", do you suppose going to a thicker blade would help?


Maybe. What are you cutting? How many teeth per inch on the blade? Has
the saw been set up properly to track straight? Are the guides set right?
Bearings? Are you cutting freehand or using a fence?
