#1 | | resaw jig needed Name: Mark Gordon City: Huntersville State: NC County: Mecklenburg Join Date: Dec 2007 Age: 44  08-13-2009, 08:27 AM
Some time back there was some discussion on a bandsaw jig used for resawing lumber. I went through the search function but could not find it.
Can anyone submitt there picture of a resaw setup for a bandsaw that I could clone. I have a bunch of new wood now that needs attention and I really don't know what I'm doing in this arena.
Thanks all | | Views: 316 | |

Joe, Tony,
Thanks for the reply. Joes setup is what I was looking for. I want to resaw some 1 inch boards into 1/2 inch boards.
Joe,
Does that little guide really work on a board as wide as shown? It looks like the saw blade would weave all over the place.

It does work. It's commonly called a 'point fence' and allows me to compensate for lead. I used to use just a piece of wood clamped to the table until I saw this in Wood (I think). Personally, I'm not inclined to spend hours tuning my bandsaw for a given days' humidity/temp/blade co-efficient. I find that generally, if the blade 'weaves' it's due to tension and if the cut is not up/down then it's mis-alignment of the upper & lower guides. However, if the grain is not straight, the blade can be influenced in the wood.
I also use building shims to keep the kerf open. Keep them in my hip pocket. I take the resaws directly to the planner so I'm always re-sawing 4 smooth surfaces.

Joe,
is there anything we should know if trying to make one of your jigs? Or is it pretty much just like what we see in your picture? | |

Here's another pic. Should show that the bottom part is fixed and the top part is a slide that's adjustable for both the table size and resaw thickness. If you need I can take more pix. | |
