21” WOOD BANDSAW

WITH RESAW GUIDE AND CAST IRON BLADE WHEELS

Resaw guide

Resawing is a method of ripping a piece of lumber into thinner pieces as

well as making book matched or slip matched panels. The curved resaw

guide (A) Fig.1 is the best option for guiding wood through the bandsaw.

The narrow line of contact makes it easy to compensate for a blade that

“leads” or wanders off the cutting line when the stock is fed straight into it.

ou can get satisfactory results with this resaw guide “single point” method,

but it demands very careful hand control.

To install resaw guide;

1) Attach the resaw guide post (A) Fig.2 to the fence (B) using washer (C)

and lock handle (D).

2) Slide and position the resaw guide post so that it is centered with the

front edge of the blade and tighten lock handle.

Here’s how you can resaw precisely and easily using resaw guide. Pencil a

straight line down the edge of a square edged board. Start sawing along

your layout line, guiding the board freehand. If the blade is leading, you will

have to feed the board into the blade at an slight angle to keep cutting along

the line and to compensate for blade drift. See Fig.1.
