Bandsawing Inside Curves

RATE THIS:

This is a useful trick when bandsawing inside curves. It requires no marking and no special jig. First I cut a shallow slot in a piece of scrap and attach it to the bandsaw fence, as shown. The radius of the cut, “R,” is the same as the distance between the fence and the blade. The notch acts as a pivot point as the workpiece is rotated around the cut.

This is a very simple idea that is not difficult to use for small arcs.

I like the easy approach to cutting the inside curves, This also works well when wanting to build a small table, to retract the legs when storing. the table.
