Thank you David for showing using the bandsaw in real time. A lot of videos speed up the cuts and as a novice, your video helps me to know how fast to run the wood through.
I am new to the band saw. I inherited my father’s so it’s an older one. I have it in my garage and has been sitting there for 8 years. It’s about time I learn how to use it. That’s for getting me motivated.
i was so confused for a solid min wondering who was doing the video
hunter bean me too!!!

i thought it was the nerd can in MIB
Dude! I just bought that same saw (first bandsaw) and have been looking for a video to show me about set up and operation for a couple days now and BAM I found it! Great video, great production quality and now I feel a lot more comfortable with my new tool. Thank you!
I use a piano tuner app on my phone to set my blade tension. After a bit of trial and error, I found the perfect tension for my work, and then twanged the section of blade in the neck between the top and bottom wheels. The app showed the note "C" for my 6mm 6tpi blade, which I use for almost everything, so now tensioning new blades is a breeze. Re-tensioning after a bit of use is just as easy. Dale from Australia.
NOT THE BEARD. ANYTHING BUT THE BEARDDDDD
Looking super slick there man! Good tips. The bandsaw is always problematic for me, as my guide blocks seem to move on me.
Awesome! I am a beginner woodworker who has really gotten interested in your channel... AND I own a band saw. So this video is perfect for me right now. Keep up the great work.
That is really helpful, thanks!
having local artists paint your tools is an amazing idea. I cannot wait to see your new shop when everything is done.
Thank you! I just inherited a bandsaw. It needs some love, but now I feel educated enough to get it set up and start cutting. Thank you again for sharing you are a great teacher!!
Watch Alex Snodgrass the bandsaw master
'Im no expert on the band saw but, i have this band saw box book...". You're killing me! ( I just got my book! Waiting for the band saw!!)
Awsome Video!!! I miss the beard, but I am always jealous of beards.
great tips. I hope the painted tools takes off as the new trend. I can't wait to see them in your new shop!
After years of woodworking I just, yes I know, bought my first bandsaw. Thanks for the video it has a lot of great info.
Just having some fun with a bandsaw. Thanks for the video. Love the music. Glad to see you incorporating your passion for making music into your making videos.
Perfect! I watched Jimmy's vid last night! This is the perfect complement.
Looking good! Btw you inspired me to put a rug down in my shop, so cozy...
Let's start a trend!
KaiCrafted I have one too. So nice! But also a magnet for dust and tape.
KaiCrafted the rug tied the room together! Can't live without my rug in the shop now!
Baby Face Picciuto in this video! I needed this video BTW. I did my first band saw box last month (the mothers day heart) and it burned like crazy. I figured out after I made it that I A. Needed a new blade and B. Needed one with less teeth. You covered them both in this video, and you can let Highland Woodworking know I bought them both from them. Thanks David!
Thanks for the video, I had very bad drifting problems from day one I’ve tried everything that I could find on the internet, well I went to a wood show last week and was watching Alex snodgrass so I bought the carter guide kit and man I’m cutting paper thin straight sheets of hard wood, first thing I ever bought that really works
The tip about using the sandpaper to hold the piece to the sled is great. I gave it a try and it made the job so much easier. On a side note you mentioned using a jointer to square up the front faces but I if you start with a square board and then send it through the planer between cuts on the bandsaw you can do the job with just the planer. Great videos, keep it up!
Just bought my first band saw...this has been a really helpful video, answered a lot of questions...thanks
Great tips, one correction to mention though... Around the 12:30 mark when you talk about getting flack for how you cut thin straight pieces, that fence is equipped to handle the problem you're speaking of (not being able to lower the guide). If you pause at 14:10 you'll notice the fence in the background. See that T-slot riding on the table? That's so you can remove the fence and attatch it so the small thin top is now the short fence. Allowing you to cut thin straight veneer with WAY less blade exposed.
Thanks so much for this. I know I'll get a lot more use out of my bandsaw because of this!
i bought a handheld circular to start, then a table, then a miter saw, and i finally got a nice 12 inch bandsaw! love woodworking but it costs a lot in the start
ive collected sooo many tools over the last year, love the art on your bandsaw btw!
Good tips video, thanks. I really like the idea of turning an old Allen wrench into knobs! Might have to do that one of these days
This is a fantastic video. I bought a new bandsaw and it was not working well at all, I watched this video and made the adjustments and it works like a charm, thank you very much!
Who is this guy? Bring back David Picciuto.
Barbara Porter Is it a guy?
Paul jr St-Jacques l
this guy is fucking awesome...let him rock it.
Love the idea of custom painting all the tools. Great overview, David!
Love this video!! Thanks for all the great tips! I've almost started working on some bandsaw boxes (great book, David) and this video might just give me the kick in the ass to get started!
Disappointed that I won't be able to make it up to Toledo this weekend for your meet-n-greet. Sounds like it'll be a hell of a good time.
nice video and Thank you. My Grizzly bandsaw's resaw fence adjusts to make thinner resaw cuts. you should have a lock down lever and the back of the fence has a channel that the lock down slides into. My Best
You probably know this but in case you don't, you can rotate your fence 90 degrees and use that T-nut style slot on the bottom to lock it in place. This gives you a much shorter fence for cutting small pieces. Of course, if you're just having fun you can do it any way you want! Great video as always and thanks!
I have the same fence...rotating it 90 degrees results in a fence that is less than an inch tall. Great for thin stock.
That was going to be my comment too. Way safer than keeping that much blade exposed.

Another Great Video Super Dave! One option for the exposed blade dilemma on the bandsaw; for thin pieces that I am cutting, I always use an aluminum yard stick and clamp it down for a fence. The 1/8" thickness is plenty height for a thin piece of wood. Hope it helps! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
Great video David! Good info presented in an easy to follow format. Thank you.
Hey Dave, I have the same bandsaw and same issue trying to cut small pieces using the fence (and then having the guides too high). I solved it by simply laying a piece of 3/4 stock that's about 2" wide next to the fence and using the edge of the 3/4 stock as the fence for small pieces. That puts the fence back away from the blade and guides I can now lower the guides way down. It's not even a big deal if the 3/4 stock moves while you're cutting. Thanks for the great videos.
Just love your passion and Energy towards these videos and all your projects. I subscribed many years ago the first time I saw your videos. Even bought some of your patterns. Thanks for all the motivation. Keep up the good work my brother. The bandsaw looks bitching. Very cool.
Great video Dave, really like the instructional aspect & that will help many people, the art on the bandsaw is fantastic 👍
just purchased my first band saw, perfect timing!
Just ordered the book. Can't wait to learn from the master of bandsaw boxes :-)
So glad you made this video. The part with you cutting a template from your book was exactly what i wanted to see. I suck at that curve lol. I must get a blade with less tpi such as the one u reccomend. thanks again!
I'm a big fan of that Snodgrass video. Excellent walkthrough to tune up your bandsaw.
A lot of info, thanks Dave.
Handy tutorial.
We picked up a Clarke saw for our shop a while back. It was 'okay' but learning how to properly tune the blade, get everything squared and swapping out the stock 'general purpose' blade for a couple of Starrets, what an improvement!!
Also..
"You've changed"..... :P
Your videos have gotten much better, I like the way you are editing and producing now.
Thanks so much. I appreciate your tips on the bandsaw and all your videos.
Great video. I am considering purchasing a bandsaw and this was very helpful! Thank you!
great to finally see the bandsaw paint job, seen snipits on your Instagram, it looks sick!!
A thought on the wooden Allen tool. You might be able to find a plastic knobbed bolt that you could replace the Allen screw. Then it would be a tool less adjustment if there is clearance. Thanks for the content, I'm at episode 50 of the "Make It" podcast, I started at the beginning after listening to a few and found the valuable gem it is. Keep up the great work.
David, very helpful. Matt did an awesome job on Tricking out the band saw. Thank you.
I do the same thing setting up my guides. I use the same blades too! But my saw has the riser kit. Awesome paint job!
Very informative as always love the artwork you inspired me to get all of my tools done add a little bit of sunshine to the shop🌞
Nice video, thanks. My bandsaw arrives tomorrow via motor freight, so info was very helpful and timely.I even bought the same kind of bandsaw.
Looking good Dave! Thanks for the tips! Great content!
Awesome video! You should clamp a thick shorter piece of MDF to your fence to create a shorter fence so that you don't need to have so much exposed blade.
Thanks for all the info David! ....bandsaw looks awesome too.
Great video dude, this makes me wanna get a bandsaw. Love the Vinny Gambini clip!!
literally got a new bandsaw two days ago, thanks for just the tips 👌
Danke für deine wertvollen Tips.
Dude... I'm like freaking out over your smoothness.
Great tips, definitely learned something new!
What fantastic tips most helpful any more for other power tools ?
and always love your make something. Keep up the good work
another awesome video! ....looking sharp also....
keep up the amazing, motivating work brother!!
Very cool idea to paint your equipment. Really jazz up the shop
Awesome... thanks.... I’m starting to use a band saw as a hobby and your explanations help me a lot...👍👍👍
Great tips and bandsaw looks super.
Love the T-shirt man, keep rockin' on!
Love your work, awesome presentation.
GREAT video David. Many Many tips & tricks in this vid.
Man! I've learned so much from your videos! Thank you!
love this. Good job,
great content man! who ever is editing your videos does a great job!
I liked this video! Very useful tips!
First great vid, tips, and reminders. Second just a note, my Jet bandsaw guide blocks have thumb screw heads which seem to work just fine. And the rip fence I use a much smaller s4s board to allow for a lower blade guide. * Keep up the great work and sharing with us.👍
Thanks for all the great tips.
I watched with great interest your adjustment of the various guides. I too, have a Grizzly bandsaw bought new about 10 years ago and have scarcely used it. The reason being is blade drift. I was/am having a problem with that. I am going to try again and make some adjustments. By the way, I just got the saw out to mess with it and one of the drive wheels rubber belt just fell off in pieces. It had dry rotted. I have some new urethane ones coming in a couple of days. Mine is the 0457 model and it has the same resaw fence. I have picked up a couple of tips from you and DiResta and hope to get up the nerve to try and use the saw. Literally in 10 years it probably has less than 5 hours use.
Really good tips!
I was wondering were did the bearded man go, till I saw the comments. It's you!
Thank you!
Great video. Would love to see some more bandsaw projects
Great guest video this week. I look forward to seeing David next time.
looking forward to meeting you on Saturday. Love the paint job on the band saw badass.
+Josh Dill see you Saturday! Thanks Josh!
Damn Dave, you really did go all out for the summer shave. Rock it man.
Thanks for creating the video. Like your idea of painting your equipment. Love the Indians game on the TV in the background! Go Tribe and keep up the good work.
No silly quip here this time. Great tips and information. Well done.
Thanks for sharing. Great video.
pretty cool paint job indeed also i am diggin the t shirt!!
You Sir, have earned a "like" simply for the "My Cousin Vinnie" reference.
Very interesting as always
Beautiful vid brother, loved it. Subscribed! 💥🤘🙌
Please bring that drunken wood worker beard back David! Thanks for the tips!
Nice video/tips. The paint job is fantastic - best looking saw on YT. If you really want to lower the guide bearings while using the fence, just clamp a 3/4 to 1" wide piece of 3/4 ply to the fence. Just like a sacrificial fence on the TS. You may not be able to get the bearings all the way down but it will cover up a lot of the exposed blade. OR.....you could just keep doing what you're doing, what ever works best for you. Keep it up - Good Stuff. Scott
Great tips! Also now we want to paint all our power tools. Also how much did dollar shave club pay for you to shave all your face hair :P Also, we're joking, looks fresh!
Also it's so cool you made all that music (was it the making it suggestions?)!! Also we made thumb screws from hex (allen) keys via 3d printing, a hack saw, and CA glue, and they work great. What else are you going to do with all those cheap ones you get with everything?
He's had that awesome music he made for a long time, but I hope the prompting of the Making It suggestions bring on even more!
Agreed!
I don't bother making thumbscrews out of wood. They never feel as nice as plastic ones.
Have you made some plastic ones?
Great tips, you could just buy the appropriate "thumbscrews" to replace the socket head cap screws, They are cheap but if your even cheaper like me you could weld washer on the end of them.
Very helpful video, thanks 🙂
I have an idea for a project for your new house and a video. Use your cnc or laser cutter and make custom outlet covers out of exotic wood.
Comment about beard removal. #jaded
Hand Tool Rescue WTF looks like a completely different person
Lol, I have a Grizzly bandsaw also and was trying to figure out a good way to keep up with that dang Allen wrench that keeps falling off whatever ledge I lay it on the machine. I will definitely try out your suggestion on making a knob. I may just use the blue lock tight on it instead of a super glue so I can remove it if needed. Thanks man!
Just got a bandsaw and love the intro video
great vid buddy...
Cool Art!! I now have ideas and a reason to break out the airbrush.
great vid Dave ty
Hope we see this new guy on the next installment of Makers and Shakers! LOL..Thanks for the tips!
It reminds me that I did not play bowling a long time ago...Great tips, thanks!
Your music is always super sick!
