Thread: Question-Cutting Off Backs

I guess, either ways.

Hi, Have not made any for a while but used to keep the back to the fence which I feel is safer to feed through having more to hold onto. Cheers and good luck.Brian

Either way but if you run the back of the box against the fence then you do not need to adjust it again if you are doing a number of boxes of varying thicknesses.

Either way it makes no difference, also when i laminate boards to make a bandsaw box i thickness one board to eight mm and use that for the back much easier, you don't have to worry about bandsaw drift it is proberly cheating
john.

Thanks to all, appreciate your time and help.

There are lots of video on YouTube that can surely help you in making band saw boxes.

Where would the forum be if we didn't ask questions??? Perhaps sitting through countless hours of poorly produced home videos hoping they may address the question at hand?

What on the surface may be a simple question for some can often bring out some new ideas and thoughts from fresh perspectives.

Despite making many bandsaw boxes in the past I hadn't considered not laminating the back on at the start, whilst I don't see myself doing this method it is interesting to know how others do it.

Hi, I agree with Sir Stinkalot making the back seperately is one of those "'Why did I not think of that moments"'. Cheers.

I appreciate everyones time and help, I do frequent youtube on occasion, but also rely on folks in the forums frequented.
