I wonder if anyone of you experienced band saw users can recommend a good book about band saws. I have used the band saw for 20 years, but still learning every day. Setting up the blade, fence and so on. I´m not looking for the most basic stuff.
At my book supplier I can read in the list:

The Ultimate Band Saw Box Book av Menke, Donna LaChance

The New Complete Guide to the Band Saw: Everything You Need to Know about the Most Important Saw in the Shop av Duginske, Mark

Popular Mechanics Workshop Band Saw Fundamentals: The Complete Guide av Peters, Rick

Band Saw Handbook av Duginske, Mark

Price wise they are around the same mark = 20 USD.
I would really be happy for some advice.
Anders

I have both "The band saw book" and the "The New Complete Guide to the Band Saw" by Mark duginske. His first book "The band saw book is the better of the two in my opinion.

His first book "The band saw book" has a lot more detailed information than his second book "The New Complete Guide to the Band saw". The second book " The New Complete Guide to the Band saw" is a nicer book in that it has nice large color pictures but less information. Anyway that my take on the two books.

The Bandsaw Book by Duginskie is the best of the lot. If you can get it, do so.

Ouch!
Linda say she was going to "Books-a-million" this morning.
So I ask her to pick up Marks' book.
$17.95, :mad:
Buy Amazon, I don't know shipping cost.
