Book Reviews of The Bandsaw Book

Book Review: Lots of useful bandsaw techniques
Summary: 4 Stars

After having my bandsaw blade come off its wheels several times I figured I needed something more than the instruction manual to solve my problem. Lonnie Bird's reputation in the woodworking field helped make my decision to purchase this book.
I was expecting to get information on tuning up my bandsaw and keep the blade on the wheels...and I got that. But I got SOOO... much more!
This book is chock full of methods for tuning the bandsaw, how to use it effectively for a variety of cuts and some hints at interesting projects with the bandsaw. I found this book to be very useful in my woodworking hobby and I have referred to it numerous times. If I wasn't such a slob in my shop, I would certainly keep it there for regular reference.
I recommend this book to anyone contemplating buying a bandsaw, anyone who already owns a bandsaw, and anyone who wants to learn new and creative techniques for using the bandsaw.

Summary of The Bandsaw Book

The bandsaw is one of the most widely used woodworking tools, found in 3 out 4 home and professional workshops. Although deceptively simple - a steel blade rotating around two rubber-clad wheels, the bandsaw does its best work when it's tuned properly. Unfortunately, most owner's manuals provided by tool manufacturers are difficult to understand, and the drawings and photos are unclear.

In this book, professional woodworker Lonnie Bird gives all the information bandsaw owners wished came in the owner's manual plus much more - what to look for when buying a bandsaw and how to tune it up for optimal performance. The information is presented in an accessible, easy-to-understand way, making this a quick reference as well as comprehensive handbook. All the information is up-to-date and thoroughly researched. Excellent color photos by the author and a clean, friendly layout gives this book on a classic woodworking subject a fresh modern look. This clearly illustrated and photographed volume will quickly become the standard reference and is a must-have title for any woodworker.
