How to Properly Cut I-Beam with Chuckee


In this Tech Tips video, ChuckE2009 demonstrates how to properly cut I-Beam with a bandsaw. During the cutting process Chuckee is using a Trajan 125 bandsaw from sawblade.com

There are several ways to cut I-Beam. It might seem tempting to cut it vertically but that could lead to the upper section vibrating and twisting. Additionally, most band saws will not be tall enough and this method will be harder on your saw. Instead, Chuckee suggests to place it horizontally to achieve a secure, stable and smooth cut.
