Stacked.Cuts
One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to cut
multiple copies of a particular shape by stacking a
number of workpieces together. However, before making
stacked cuts, ensure that the table is perpendicular (90°)
to the blade—otherwise, any error in this setting will be
compounded in the workpieces.
To complete a stacked cut, do these steps:
1. Align workpieces from top to bottom.
2. Secure all pieces together in a manner that will not
interfere with cutting. Hot gluing along edges works
well, as does brad nailing through waste portion.
(Be careful not to cut into brads or you may break
blade!)
3. Lay out shape you intend to cut on face of top
piece.
4. Make relief cuts perpendicular to outline of your
intended shape in areas where changes in blade
direction could strain wood grain or cause blade to
bind.
5. Cut stack of pieces along your layout line as though
you were cutting a single piece (see Figure 78 for an
example of a stacked cut setup).
