Resawing

Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Bandsaws are ideal for resawing and the process is fairly easy and safe. A table saw is not intended for resawing and the process is diffi- cult and extremely dangerous. Resawing on the table saw often binds the blade, causing kickback. The risk of kick- back increases relative to the depth of a cut. Kickback is more dangerous when resawing on a table saw because the anti-kickback devices and blade guard must be removed, leaving no protection between your hands and the saw blade. Kickback can pull the operator's hands into the blade, or the operator or bystanders may be hit by flying stock. DO NOT resaw on a table saw without using a resaw barrier. DO NOT resaw on a table saw without wearing a full face shield.

The following instructions describe how to build a resaw barrier, add an auxiliary fence to your standard fence, and safely perform resawing operations.

Note: This table saw can only resaw wood that is less than 6" tall.

Resawing operations require proper procedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kickback when resawing. Any tilting or movement of the workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

Resawing on a table saw increases the chances of kickback. Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed expulsion of stock from the tablesaw toward an opera- tor. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be pulled into the blade during the kickback.

Resaw Barrier

The resaw barrier shown in Figure 52 holds the workpiece vertical, keeps the workpiece aligned with the fence, and keeps your hands away from the blade.

Components Needed for the Resaw Barrier:

Hardwood or Plywood 3⁄4" x 51⁄2" x 27"

Jointer and Planer

Recommended

Clamps

2 Minimum

Drill and Drill Bits

To build the resaw barrier, do these steps:

1.Cut two boards to 3⁄4" x 51⁄2" x 27" and 3⁄4" x 3" x 27". If you are using hardwood, cut the boards over- size, then joint and plane the boards to the correct size to make sure the boards are square and flat.

Note: Only use furniture grade plywood or kiln dried hardwood to prevent warping.
