speaking of bandsaw drift...
....Did anyone else see the article in the August Popular Woodworking
"Make Drift a Myth"? Basically, he says to get a high-tension spring and crank up the tension, set ball-bearing guides tight to the blade, clamp your fence tight and square to the table, and use a bearing/featherboard to keep your workpiece tight against the fence. Then "you'll make band saw drift a myth in your shop, too". Is this realistic for most saws, or did he just get lucky results with his? (14" w/riser, looks like Delta, $10.99 4 tpi skip blade from Hartville). Andy |
