Safe Bandsawing of Small Pieces

Equipped with a narrow blade, the bandsaw can easily cut small parts. The only problem is safely handling the pieces. It’s best to saw them from larger pieces that can be gripped at a safe distance from the blade. When that’s not possible, I find that the next best thing is to steer the piece using erasers at the ends of full-length pencils. Stick with new pencils with soft fresh erasers that haven’t  hardened over time.
