New Complete Guide to Band Saws: Everything You Need to Know About the Most Important Saw in the Shop (Fox Chapel Publishing) How to Choose, Setup, Use, & Maintain Your Band Saw, plus Troubleshooting Paperback – Illustrated, April 1, 2014

Duginske certainly knows what he’s talking about! His organization and writing skills, complemented by the superb, clear photos and explicit, gorgeously drawn and accurate illustrations make for a very special text! As a novice band saw user, I’m amazed at how thoroughly he’s covered the subject, from the basics to the purchase of the machine- new or used- to the metallurgy behind purchasing blades. AND a look at the history behind the craft! Just an excellent text that is well up to date, too.

Complete descriptions throughout.

lots of good info for all users

Recently acquired a bench top band saw and thought it wise to read up on techniques, safety, and maintenance. This book fills the bill and provides good tips, general guidance and recommendations for useful jigs. If you're building up a woodworking library, also take a look at Lonnie Bird's "The Bandsaw Book" which can be found here on Amazon.By the way, there seems to be no agreement on whether the tool is called a band saw or a bandsaw.

Excellent

First review on a book,this is a must have for anyone that purchased a bandsaw. Added a bandsaw to the shop after working with a scroll saw required a book to bring me up to speed and minimize mistakes, woods are expensive and hard to come by. This book has all info / Tips for new bandsaw users and a number of projects to hone your skills.A must have for the wood shop, garage, all DIYers etc...

A lot of information on the band saw just what I was looking for. If you need lot of information buy this book, you cannot go wrong.

I had the earlier edition which was good.But this is 100% better.I checked out this and several other highly rated Bandsaw books from the Library first.This is the best.Not the charm of the writings of Christopher Schwartz at Popular Woodwork …but this is a well written technical bookExcellent photosI use it as a ready reference to overhaul and operate an old machine.With the help of this AND the ALEX SNODGRASS YouTube videos, my old Atlas is running like it’s (almost) new!
