Thread: How to efficiently cut slabs for scales?

+++++band saw

I have three but the one I use most is a $130 saw. bands are cheep.
here is a link:9 in. Bench Top Band Saw
This thing is a work horse. It forgives me if I leave it be for months. I clean the rubber on the wheels with a paper towel and my finger nail. I rotate the blade manually and pinch with 220grit sand paper and off I go. I can mill rough barn timber with it. My last set of scales were ash and I also cut camel bone for wedges (smells like a dentist office on steroids after a root canal when cutting bone).

So invest in a band saw you will be glade you did!!!!!
