Hi Everyone. At this moment, I am very frustrated. Nothing seems to be going right in the shop today and I have a lot to get done :BangHead:
The worst is this piece of wood:
It is a piece of Mopani that I tried to resaw off of a 3'' thick 6''x6'' block. I thought I had the bandsaw tuned up pretty well but this result tells me otherwise. Any ideas what I should adjust first? You can see from the picture that the cut started fine (the far end) but then the blade started to dish out the wood I was cutting off the block. This Mopani is very heavy and dense.
I had much better results with a piece of cocobolo just the other day (it was the same rough size). I was able to cut four pieces from the block that were roughly 1/2'' thick each. I was hoping to do the same with this piece.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
