caseysmith1717,
Check out the file "Bandsaw Chip Characteristics" (in the files section of course) from John Vreede.??
He has posted several files that have been very helpful to this group.? Great source of knowledge!
My saw is set for thicknesses I cut most of the time.? ?For the occasional thinner pieces (non-production run), I don't bother changing any settings.? I use my hand to slow the feed.
