class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The band saw is a power-tool that showcases the improved technological developments in cutting tools. The saw makes use of a thin long blade that is spun around repeatedly by wheels located within the saw.<\/p>\n<p>Band saws can be used to make a myriad of cuts on solid materials ranging from straight cuts to design cuts. The horizontal band saw is a variant of the band saw largely accustomed to cutting thick and large materials into smaller bits that are suitable for tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The horizontal band saw lowers on the material and uses a long blade to cut horizontally.<\/p>\n<p>Read More \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/best-metal-band-saws\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best Horizontal Bandsaws<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_parts_of_the_horizontal_band_saw\"><\/span><strong>Important parts of the horizontal band saw<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The safety guard<\/strong>: these guards guide and protect the blade.

Only cut materials thick and big enough for the machine.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the advanced features that come with the horizontal band saw, the machine is easy and convenient to use.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is set it up perfectly and switch it on. Features such as the lowering knob and vise clamp do all the work while all you do is supervise. Let\u2019s go over the steps involved in using the machine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Put_on_Your_Safety_Gear\"><\/span><strong>Put on Your Safety Gear<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Always ensure your safety. The thick gloves prevent your hands and fingers from cuts. The goggles shield your eyes from dust and debris. The earplugs or muffs block out the noise from the machine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mark_The_Material\"><\/span><strong>Mark The Material<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As with all cutting processes, it\u2019s important to know where you want to cut. Measure and mark out that part so you can get an accurate result.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Secure_the_Material_With_Vise_Clamp\"><\/span><strong>Secure the Material With Vise Clamp<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Place the material on the table and use the vise clamp to tightly hold the material down in place while cutting.<\/p>\n<p>Most clamps have a lever that can be pulled all the way depending on the amount of holding pressure required to safely secure the material.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure the part of the material you want to cut is exposed while securing the material with the clamp.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Loosen_The_Blade_Guards\"><\/span><strong>Loosen The Blade Guards<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The guard knob is usually located on either side of the saw. The knob allows you to slide or move the blade guard-forward or backward. Gently turn the knob.<\/p>\n<p>This allows you to move the blade guard so you can expose more or less of the blade depending on your task. Since you will be working on a large piece of material, it\u2019s advised to move the guards backward (about 10-15 centimeters) to expose more of the blade so you can get more cutting action.<\/p>\n<p>Turn the knob back in place tightly when you are done. Occasionally, you may experience the blade guard is about to come in contact with the material while cutting. Simply hit the emergency stop switch, turn the guard knob, move the blade guard backward again and continue cutting.<\/p>\n<p>Read More \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/how-to-fold-bandsaw-blades\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to Fold Bandsaw Blades?<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_the_Lowering_Knob\"><\/span><strong>Turn the Lowering Knob<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Turn the lowering knob to a degree that maintains the desired level of lowering speed while cutting. As the blade cuts through the material, the knob allows a consistent level of lowering speed thereby ensuring that the blade doesn\u2019t just keep cutting a particular point but it cuts through and down. Ensure the drop speed isn\u2019t too fast or too slow. Set it at that degree that feels just right.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_The_Stop_Switch\"><\/span><strong>Turn The Stop Switch<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rotate the stop switch. It is usually located near the power or trigger button. If you do not rotate the stop switch, the power button will not work, so rotate the stop switch to the right. If this is done correctly, the stop switch should pop out.<\/p>\n<p>Read More \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/best-14-inch-bandsaws\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best 14-inch Bandsaws<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Push_The_Power_or_Trigger_Button\"><\/span><strong>Push The Power or Trigger Button<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When the stop switch pops out, push the power button and the blade will start running. Ensure you already set the lowering knob to the desired level before pushing the power button.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to let the blade run before coming in contact with the material. When you push the power button, the blade will start running, then the hydraulics located at the rear of the machine will lower the blade based on the drop speed you selected. These parts all work together to ensure you get a perfect cutting result.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supervise\"><\/span><strong>Supervise<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While using the horizontal saw, your main task is to keep watch on the cutting procedure at all times. If there is too much noise coming from the saw, or the blade guard hits the material, or something isn\u2019t going according to plan, hit the stop switch, adjust whatever is wrong, and continue cutting until you get the result you desire.

If three or more teeth can\u2019t fit on the material, it means the material is not fit to be cut by the horizontal band saw.
