Thanks. I try and keep my hand behind the blade in case something goes wrong. I also think it is a function of how strong the bandsaw is vs how thick the wood is. The wood it has to cut through in this case is pretty thin.
I'm a beginner and all i have to show for my skew effort is lots of waste metal, and the ability to find every possible catch point in any piece of wood, I still haven't even got the grind right yet. Grrrrrrrrr Good luck in your future skew skills, And have an awesome day Cheers 🍻 Matt Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
