From time to time I see people cutting limb or log sections on the bandsaw cutting across the limb. This is very dangerous as the log can roll and will happen so fast you could easily lose a finger. You think you can hold it and probably 90 percent of the time you can but all it takes is a grab by the blade and bam it's over with. Damages the blade at the least and could hurt you very seriously.
What I learned was to make a sliding table with a jig on top to help hold the log and keep it from rolling. I made mine slide in the miter slot but I don't think that's absolutely necessary. I used a V slot for the log. It works very well. I've never had anything try to roll on me
