• Cooling (for metal): When cutting thin metal, consider using a cutting lubricant or coolant to extend blade life and improve cut quality, if recommended by your bandsaw manufacturer.
• Blade Tracking: Periodically check the blade tracking during operation. If the blade drifts or makes unusual noises, stop the machine and re-adjust.
