A new trick, at least to me. Was truing up a piece of wood for an end grain hollow form that was about 14" tall. My bandsaw is 5hp so it's up to the task and I have a brand new blade. It seemed like I was having to push the wood thru a lot harder than I should have. I grabbed a piece of waxed paper and put under the log. It was unbeleivable how it eliminated all the drag. It was like moving the wood on rollers, no effort at all. I'm sure someone has thought of this trick before but it will be in my arsenal from now on.
