Best thing for cutting tight curves is the proper size blade. But maybe
that's another reason why I haven't found it necessary. Better to never
back out of a cut, rather make relief cuts.

I typically back out of cuts where the waste may be vee shaped, or if
I'm cutting notches or squared corners. It's frequently easier to
back out of a quick cut with a 3/8" or 1/2" blade, than to mount a
1/16" or 1/8" blade for a one shot deal.

The basic need is (was) to remove an artifact of stamping, or a burr
turned
by overfeeding and overturning. That's why I said what I said.
Understandable enough?

Absolutely. As usual, you know everything. G

I again understand why I rarely bother to reply to your posts.


Well, is anything I said untrue? Is your "I don't understand" not really a
request for clarification?

There's a big difference between hopefully getting by without kinking the
blade as you try to back it out of an other than straight cut, and preferred
practice. Why suggest (or even admit) poor practice? If it's all you have
to say, you're right to remain silent.



it's also "prefered practice" to use the factory anti-kickback pawls
on a tablesaw. how mant saws have you seen with as opposed to without
them?

if the guy gets good results backing up with his bandsaw, good for
him. so do I.
