Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may
occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
x
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
x
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
x
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
x
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
x
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
x
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut
through this sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
