Went to the Woodcraft bandsaw class last night at my semi-local Woodcraft store in Knoxville, TN. It was on bandsaw maintanance. The bandsaw used was a Jet 14", about what I would consider standard for the average woodworking hobbiest like me.
I never realized just how ignorant I was about bandsaws, in particular the guides. The instructor, Robert, did an excellent job of going over the maintanance of the fence, without overloading us with a lot of additional info just to fill up the time. Since the class was just two people, we ended a little early, and where able to do hands on work, as well as ask a lot of general questions about various of wood working subjects and machines.
A very worthwhile class.
I look forward to my next class at Woodcraft, and I would recommend them to others who want to brush up on woodworking subjects also. I'm going to a dovertail jig class in the near future.
