Confused    ROUND the pins so they will rotate..simple as that.

Mine is mainly for cross cutting, doesn't require the blade to turn ( I have enough trouble  sawing straight, as it is..

If you have a template I would be most happy if you send me one.

Yes
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

If the pins are not glued in, they can be rotated 90* for rip. Same way you do a hacksaw.

Well, you could just shear it to the width, and the end user can file his own tooth pattern.

I've successfully cut a skip-tooth bandsaw blade to length, drilled holes in each end, and affixed them into my 12" bow saw with pins.
