Resawing

NOTICE

Resawing requires the blade to be perpen- dicular to the table surface. Instructions on making the blade perpendicular to the table surface are in Section 3: SetUp.

Resawing, as shown in Figure 41, is cutting a board into two thinner pieces. The width and length dimensions remain the same. The maxi- mum width workpiece that can be resawn is lim- ited to 12" on the Model G0513 & G0514.

To make a resaw cut:

1.Install the widest blade available for your bandsaw when performing resaw operations. The cut will be straighter and more accurate. The best tooth style is a hook or a skip tooth and should have between 3 and 6 teeth-per- inch.

2.Adjust the guide post/blade guide assembly to the desired height.

3.Joint one face of the workpiece on a jointer.

4.Using a push paddle, slowly feed the workpiece through the saw blade as shown in Figure 35. The jointed face of the workpiece must be against the fence during this opera- tion.

Cutting Curves

When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows the layout line without twisting. If a curve is so abrupt that it is necessary to repeatedly back up and cut a new kerf, use either a narrower blade or a blade with more TPI (teeth per inch), or make more relief cuts.

Always make short cuts first, then proceed to the longer cuts. Relief cuts will also reduce the chance that the blade will be pinched or twisted. Relief cuts are cuts made through the waste portion of the workpiece and are stopped at the layout line. As you cut along the layout line, waste wood is released from the workpiece, alleviating any pressure on the back of the blade. Relief cuts also make backing the workpiece out easier, if needed.
