Band saws are ideal for cutting curves and intricate shapes in wood. They can also be used for ripping lumber to size, resawing, and cutting joints. Using the band saw can can be dangerous and harmful. Therefore, it is mandatory to complete a band saw-course at Bitraf before operating the machinery. Although band saws are generally considered safer than table saws, any machine with a moving blade must be taken seriously. Band saws generate noise while cutting, and their blades can be just as dangerous as spinning table saw blades, though with a lower risk of kickback. During this course, you will learn how to use the band saw safely.
Norwegian documentation for the band saw can be found here;

A router table is a versatile tool that allows you to perform a wide range of woodworking operations, such as: edge profiling, groove cutting, mortising, pattern routing, joinery, and slot cutting, with an increased precision control and safety.
But it's also one of the more dangerous machines in the workshop, The bit rotate are a very high speed, is exposed, and can grab the work-piece and pull the hand holding it into the moving bit if not operated properly. That's why treating it with the respect and care it requires is essential for a smooth operation.
Therefore, it is mandatory to complete a Router Table course at Bitraf before operating the machine.The course will be in English.
