In the following link, you will find more information about it. [[teams:woodworking:getting_around#what_machines_require_induction|Getting around - Inductions]] ==== Guidelines ==== === What's this tool for? === In general terms this machine will allow you to cut wood and wood like materials. Particularly is good when you want to cut curves and resawing timber. === What’s Resawing? === Strictly, resawing is a type of rip cut (cut along the grain) but across the thickness. In other words, is a cut that will give a workpiece with the same width and length but a reduced thickness. In general terms, resawing could refer widely to downsizing timber. A bandsaw is good at this because it has a thing kerf compared to a table saw and it’s way more safe and forgiving than a table saw when it comes to deal with rough lumber (e.g. cup, bow, twist timber). === What can I cut with it? === You can cut solid wood, engineered wood (MDF, Chipboard, Plywood, CLT, OSB) and some composite materials. Before cutting any composite material (e.g., Plastics, resin-based materials) we ask you to talk to the woodworking cause leader about it. === What I can’t cut with it? === Any materials that contain glass, carbon or Kevlar fibres can’t be cut on this machine. ==== Recommended PPE ==== | Required | {{:resources:ppe-wearenclosedshoes.gif?nolink&100|}} | Enclosed shoes are required, no open sandals, thongs etc | | Required | {{:resources:ppe-weargoggle.gif?nolink&100|}} | Please wear goggles or a face shield | | Required | {{:resources:prohibition_loose_clothing_and_jewellery_prohibited.jpg?nolink&100|}}| No Loose Clothing, or Jewellery| | Recommended | {{:resources:ppe-wearearprotection.gif?nolink&100|}} | We recommend hearing protection. | | Recommended | {{:resources:ppe-wearrespirator.gif?nolink&100|}} | We recommend the use of a respirator | | Recommended | {{:resources:ppe-useextraction.gif?nolink&200|}} | Use Dust Extraction | | Recommended | {{:resources:ppe-useadjustableguard.gif?nolink&200|}} | Lower Blade Guard to just above height of workpiece | | Warning | {{:resources:ppe-wearhandprotection.gif?nolink&200|}} | Gloves are PPE against your material (splinters, resin etc) but are hazardous around the saw.
