It differs from a saw in two respects. It is capable of cutting thicker material and it cuts faster. Unlike a saw, it is not capable of doing inside cutting. Your Craftsman Band Saw/Sander is not only capable of the usual band saw operations, but it can be converted into a sander as well. You can finish wood, certain compositions and plastics and non-ferrous metals. SAWING 1. Adjust the workpiece. upper guides not more than 1/4" 3. The smallest above your diameter that can be cut out is determined by the width of the blade. For example, a 1/4" wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately 1-1/2". 2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against the table. Use gentle pressure, and do not force the work, but allow the blade to cut. BLADE SELECTION GUIDE FOR MINIMUM CIRCLE BLADE 1" 3" 1" 3" SIZE _ _ 3. 8 SANDING The sanding belt cuts very rapidly. Practice with some scraps of wood first before you attempt to sand your actual workpiece. 1.
