Chapter 2 Bandsaw and Jigsaw tips

The switch from using surfaced lumber to milling your own boards from rough stock is a watershed for most woodworking professionals. It saves you money, unchains you from the standard thicknesses obtainable in surfaced lumber, and gives you greater control over the accuracy of your work and the look of your boards. But this business of taming roughsawn stock can be a challenge. The wood is rarely flat to begin with, and it often releases inner stresses when cut that can pinch or bind a sawblade, resulting in a violent kickback. I eliminate these dangers by using a bandsaw instead of a tablesaw for initial ripping and by using a jigsaw instead of a chopsaw for crosscutting rough stock to length. Both of these saws employ narrow blades that make them less susceptible to binding. Besides being safer, the procedure I follow is straightforward and straightforward. Make sure your machines are set up appropriately and check the stock with a precise square as you progress through these steps. Your objective, of course, is boards that are completely flat, straight, and square.
