These are now my longest band saw cuts. The cut started scaring me with banging sounds. After I was done cutting I re-tensioned the blade and adjusted the blade tracking. The second cut had no scary sounds. I cut just on the outside edge of my sharpie line and was within a blade width the whole cut.
These parts had a nice diagonal band saw cut. The first part I cut the wrong angle but fortunately I left too much material behind and was able to fix it. I was able to try out the vixen file on the cuts. The secret seems to be to be very gentle with it to keep the teeth from catching on the edge. Its amazing how much material is removed with as delicate pressure as I can apply.
