I all,
I just set up my first new band saw. 14" Jet 1-1/4 hp. I Never really used a band saw alot because I just had a old one that didn't work very well. Now I have a New one, I want to fully understand how to use this saw to it's full potential.
I like to make cutting boards.
I have watched a lot of YouTube videos where people are ripping lumber on the band saw not the table saw?
Question: why are people ripping lumber on the band saw not the table saw? The only thing I can think of is a thiner the blade kerf.
Thanks for any advice!
