I'm having issues cutting 304 on my horizontal bandsaw. It's a Clausing Startrite HB250M. It works fine on everything else I've thrown at it, mostly mild and free machining steel, aluminum, and 17-4PH. I was trying to cut 5/8"x3.5" flat 304 bar today. I have it clamped lying flat, the way I usually do.
Shortly after the blade makes contact, it jumps over and starts cutting ~1/8" towards the end of the bar.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
