CUTTING CURVES

When cutting curves, turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows without twisting. If a curve is so abrupt that

it is necessary to repeatedly back up and cut a new kerf, a narrower blade, a blade with more set, or additional

relief cuts Fig. 44, may be necessary to allow the blade to cut more efficiently. The more set a blade has, the eas-

ier it will allow the stock to be turned, but the cut is usually rougher than where a medium amount of set is used.

In withdrawing the piece being cut, in order to change the cut, or for any other reason, the operator must be care-

ful that he does not accidentally draw the blade off the wheels. In most cases, it is easier and safer to turn the

stock and saw out through the waste material, rather than try to withdraw the stock from the blade.
