About

The 36” Northfield is the Wood Studio’s “Big Boy” and requires separate user qualification from the other bandsaws. 

Successful completion of this class, plus some supervision in your first studio use of the Northfield, will qualify you to use it independently in Open Studio.

You will learn important safety guidelines, how to inspect and tune up this big saw, how to resaw boards and how to safely cut irregular or unstable stock.
