A hand saw is a handy tool to have in your workshop. It can cut patterns and shapes from many types of material, whether wood, hard plastic or metal. Book saws are either portable that you can attach to your workbench, or they are stand-alone models. If you don’t want to add a book to your arsenal of machine tools, you can find a decent one for as little as three or four hundred bucks. Like other electric saws, to get the best use out of it, and to use it safely, there are tips on how to use the book correctly;
1. After you have bought the book, be sure to read the owner’s manual before you use it for the first time. This manual will not only give you proper operating instructions, but also tell you how to use the machine safely.
If we have never seen a volume before, it is good to ask an expert family member, a neighbor; A friend or co-worker will show you the ropes first.
2. Here is an important tip that you use the book saw correctly – make sure it has a lot of light in it so you can see the material you are cutting. You will be able to clearly see the marks and lines you have made on wood, hard plastic or metal.
3. Always wear a dust mask and a pair of safety glasses or goggles before you start using a chainsaw. Pull back your hair if it is long, and put on sleeves, jewelry and body to remove the parts from the blade.
4. Check the type of blade installed before you start cutting any material. Most woods can be cut with a variety of layers. I remember that the thinner the material, the smaller the teeth in the grass need to be.
If you are a beginner in using a manual saw, try using a heavier gauge that has many teeth. Cutting will go a little slower, but you will be able to control the material more easily. Even if you apply too much force to the material to move it around, the iron will not be as apt to break.
5. To use the book properly, materials such as Plexiglas, aluminum, and other types of metal saw the need for a special volume, the plates used in them. If you place strips of machine plate along the lines or marks where you cut into Plexiglass and other materials, the candle will help make the section lighter and cooler. Plastics do not get hot together and fuse.
The same trick works on hard. Tape reduce will help the friction when cutting the wood and you will not have black marks on the edges or smoking problem. You can also use dry lube to help reduce friction.
6. Don’t try to rush through the section. Why? Because a) The fingers can slide in the material and saw a sharp steel book. b) Try to push hard or strong metals too fast and it can turn the iron sideways. The result will then be a twisted or cut or broken blade.
