		+	== Info ==
		+	There are two bandsaws at the station. If you are new to woodworking, ask for a demo of getting set up properly.
		+
		+	Basic checks before turning on.
		+	*Tension wheel is set (otherwise blade will break more easily)
		+	*Guidepost is set close to material height and locked
		+	*Blade tracking is good - staying in center of wheel can be adjusted
		+
		+	The smaller yellow bandsaw is great for most projects.
		+
		+	The larger craftsman bandsaw has a lot more power and depth/width - but requires more care.
		+
		+	=== SAFETY ===
		+	* '''Eye Hazard''' safety glasses are a good idea!
		+	* '''Finger Hazard''' keep fingers clear of cutting blade and area near blade. Use a scrap piece of wood to remove debris.
		+	* '''Hearing Hazard''' bandsaws can be loud - hearing protection may be desired
		+
		+	Guidepost bade should be set to about 1/8th inch above material
		+	Ensure the blade is tracking correctly (staying in center of wheel through window) and runs freely through guidewheels.
		+	Ensure the blade is under proper tension (tension wheel is at top)
		+	Hold material firmly. Bandsaws can cut quickly.
		+	Use scrap to remove any debris or material from near blade. Keep hands and fingers away from blade.
		+	Make relief cuts when doing any sort of curve. Bandsaws do not handle turns well. Blades will break.
		+	Keep the floor around a band saw clean and free of obstructions or clutter - trip hazard!
		+	===Adjustments===
		+	There are several adjustments that can be made to the bandsaw, with videos online
		+	*Guidepost height
		+	*Upper Guidewheels
		+	*Lower Guidewheels
		+	*Tension
		+	*Tracking
		+
		+	===Blade Replacement===
		+	The large craftsman bandsaw takes 99.75inch blades. These are about $20 currently on amazon or can be ordered in a multipack. Specifications are on rear of bandsaw.
		+	The <other> bandsaw takes <?> inch blades. These can also be ordered.
		+
		+	Blades are sharp! It is very easy to accidentally touch a tooth of the blade and get cut. Keep others clear during change as well.
