Basingstoke Store - Bandsaw Set Up and Blade Selection
FREE Woodwork Demonstration
Many woodworkers consider bandsaws to be a workshop essential, but the correct set up is key if you want to get the best from these magnificent machines. During this free demonstration team member Michael will use the Axminster Trade AT2552B Bandsaw to cover all the basics including blade types and selection, correct set up of the machine, machine maintenance, useful accessories (such as dust extraction) and good woodworking practices.
So, if you’re feeling frustrated with your bandsaw because it won't cut straight, you’re struggling to cut curves, the blade keeps coming off, or you’re looking to purchase your first one then this is an event for you! Spaces are limited to 10 people, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
Depending on Government guidelines we may not be able to provide refreshments so please bring your own soft drinks. We kindly ask that you observe any safety measures in place within the store.
