Druggie,
Here is something I learned the hard way doing small parts on the band saw...
Get a piece of cardboard, like from the back of a note pad, cut straight into the middle of it on your BS and stop in the middle, then turn BS OFF.
Next time you want to cut small parts: 1. Slide cardboard back into the band saw.
2. Tape it down to the table.
3. Turn on band saw.
4. Make your small part cuts. (nothing will fall in around the blade and cause problems!)
5. Turn off, remove cardboard, store in a nice drawer, and you're back to normal!
It works like a charm!
Glad you had a Happy Anniversary!!
