Imagine a tool that physically guides you just outside the lines when band sawing contoured projects, leaving just the right amount for your router to clean up. No need to imagine anymore, that tool is here. That tool is Woodpeckers New SteadyCurve. Once woodworkers grasp the concept of following a pattern with a flush-trim router bit, it usually becomes their preferred method for any contoured project. Woodpeckers new SteadyCurve Band Saw Template Guide streamlines the process by using the same concept to rough-cut the workpiece. The template follower on SteadyCurve straddles your band saw blade and holds it away from the pattern by up to 1/4".
Position SteadyCurve on your band saw table with the amount of blade offset you want, lock the MagSwitch clamps and you’re ready to cut. Instead of trying to follow a traced-out line, just keep the pattern against the SteadyCurve as you move along the contour. Then trim the remaining fraction of an inch off with your router, faster and smoother than ever before because the depth of cut is minimized and consistent. SteadyCurve comes with replaceable template followers for 1/4" and 1/8" blades and works with any band saw with a cast iron or steel table and at least 12" of throat clearance.
- MagSwitch clamps allow easy positioning and instant locking of the SteadyCurve on your table.
- Template follower adjusts vertically for material as thin as 1/4" and up to 4".
- Molded template followers won’t damage blades and are easily replaced when worn.
- Works with all 12" and larger band saws…with or without table extension.
- Corrosion-resistant materials and finishes used throughout for a lifetime of service.
SteadyCurve works with all types of templates, commercially made or shop made, plastic, MDF or plywood. Whatever attachment system you’re using for your router will work for SteadyCurve, too (we prefer double-faced tape). SteadyCurve makes every contoured project go faster and smoother, and your finished parts will be more accurate.
Like all Woodpeckers products, the SteadyCurve Band Saw Template Guide is precisely machined and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio, facility just south of Cleveland.
