Très bien
Le livre est écrit par un détenteur de brevets liés à la scie à ruban. Les explications et illustrations sont claires et agréables à lire. Choix du modèle de scie à ruban, description du fonctionnement (réglages) et des limites (avantages/inconvénients des modèles petits à large), présentation des lames de scie , coupes en ligne droite ou en courbe, tout est clairement exposé.

WoW! This is THE bandsaw book!
This book was written by someone with obviously strong and long experience, and he covers EVERY aspect of bandsaws, including design, features, brands, examining condition, setup, maintenance, blades, straight cuts, curved cuts, jigs, fixtures - you name it - it's all there, and WELL explained. One of the best books I have ever purchased.

O livro é excelente.
O livro faz uma abordagem completa sobre como devemos usar o que chamamos Serra de Fita. Demonstra como esta máquina é segura já que nela não ocorre o tal kick Back da serra circular. Muita informação em 187 páginas impressas em papel de qualidade com mais de 250 ilustrações. Mostra regulagens, dispositivos e ilustrações valiosas que mostram ao hobista e ao marceneiro iniciante maneiras de fazer cortes. Como disse vale a pena adquirir o livro.

Introduced me to my Band Saw
I'm just starting in woodworking. I started by building an end grain cutting board in a friends workshop with his help, and have been slowly getting into the hobby. The first tool I was looking to get was a Band Saw since it most matched what I wanted to do. My problem was, I had no clue what to look for, how to use one, what to do. This book was pretty helpful for me in that regard. It starts at the very basics of the Band Saw. Reading through the book I got an idea of what parts consists of the saw, their names, their functions, what type of bandsaw I should look for for the type of work I wanted to, what type of blades I should get, how to use the blades, and a lot more. The book helped me very much with the basic operation and function of the band saw, and when I finally got one, I was a pretty comfortable with it considering it was my first time really using one. Reading through the actual manual for the bandsaw much of the information felt very familiar. This book though went into a lot of detail and provided helpful tools and tips whereas the manual didn't. It certainly was a helpful supplement to the provided documentation. The book is easy to read, it is detailed but not overly technical. There are a lot of helpful illustrations and drawings to help illustrate the point the book is making. The book will cover up to how to do some basic cuts (straight curved) follow patterns, and some light project type work. But this is not a book that gives you 15 projects to start off. The book gets you off the ground with Band Saw's, and if you need a guide cause you don't know all that much - this book is an excellent tool.
