Hi Dan, Could be, I know that it was suggested in one article I did read but more as a means of preserving your blade. Since I don't have a band saw to try this with and my point just now is to discover if I should make that investment I can't actually try it. I do have a task and was thinking of doing that with the table saw and buying a good long quality hand rip saw to finish the cut by hand.
I was just hoping that someone on the list who has a band saw and I think there are a couple, might have experience and done it.

Dale, This might be silly, and more work than is necessary, but could you run a wide plank through your table saw on edge, flip it, run it through on the opposite edge. That wouldn't get you all the way through the plank, but it might help the band saw to track better as it cuts through the middle section. Just a thought. -- Blue skies.
