Sawing Slices From A Mosaic Loaf

[Steve Tirdell]

What Is The Best Way To Saw Slices From A Mosaic Loaf? Would A Horizonal Bandsaw Work?

I tac weld my loaves to a piece of strap iron a little wider and longer than the loaf. Sometimes I tac weld a loaf to each end of the strap. I then do a semi-spheriod anneal, 1250 for a half hour and let cool in the kiln. If you don't do this process the weld material can ruin a bandsaw blade. It also makes cutting more uniform and more easily clamped.

Shopsmith forum is a better place for this post...Take Care...Ed
