The 
Kawasaki™ 
Metal 
Cutting 
Band 
saw 
can 
be 
operated 
in 
two 
modes: 
horizontal
cutting 
and 
vertical 
cutting. 
The 
horizontal 
cutting 
is for 
larger 
or 
thicker 
workpieces
while 
the 
vertical 
cutting 
table 
is generally 
used 
for 
smaller 
lightweight 
workpieces
or 
workpieces 
requiring 
bevel 
cuts. 
See 
Pages 
20-21, 
step 
4 and 
the 
“Speeds 
in 
FPM” 
table 
for 
choosing 
the 
proper
speed 
and 
materials

To set 
the 
vise 
for 
angled 
cuts,
loosen 
the 
two 
screws 
on 
the
front 
vise 
plate. 
A gauge
mounted 
on 
the 
side 
of 
the 
saw
base 
will 
line 
up 
with 
the 
vise
plate 
indicating 
the 
angle 
of
cut.
11. 
For 
precise 
angle 
cutting, 
open
the 
vise 
all 
the 
way 
and 
place 
a
protractor 
or 
other 
precise
measuring 
gauge 
against 
the
vise 
plate.
12. 
Tighten 
the 
two 
screws 
when 
the
desired 
angle 
is reached.

CUTTING 
CURVES
The 
blade 
on 
the 
metal 
cutting 
band 
saw
does 
not 
turn 
from 
side-to-side 
to 
create
scrolling 
effects. 
Cutting 
cur
ved 
corners 
is
achieved 
by 
making 
relief 
cuts 
along 
the
cur
ved 
path. 
The 
relief 
cuts 
allow 
the
blade 
to 
make 
the 
cut 
without 
twisting.
See 
Figure 
17. 
If the 
cur
ved 
path 
is so
sharp 
that 
it is necessar
y to 
repeatedly
stop 
and 
back 
up, 
the 
cur
ve 
could 
be 
cut
by 
increasing 
the 
number

If you

that 
the 
gauge 
is large 
enough

If not, 
your
