Default Bandsaw Jig Aids in Cutting Log Sections

I've thought about, and tinkered with, where the
centerline of the point of rotation should intersect with the blade.
I realized through experimentation that too far ahead of the blade or
too far behind the blade caused the blade to cut either into the
circle or out away from the circle. But I miss that sweetspot most of
the time in my setup. I'm not sure I follow your explanation either
since I tend to be a visual learner, seeing is understanding with me.
I hate to ask and take up your time but can you go over the part about
feeding ahead at the bottom of the gullet? Thanks for helping a
newbie.


Institutionalize your sweet spot by putting a bar to limit how far you can
advance the jig.

The best thing to do if you own a bandsaw is to Get Mark Duginskie's The
Bandsaw Handbook. It'll help you keep things in adjustment and contains
good troubleshooting advice as well.
