G0513 Series Bandsaws

To resaw a workpiece:

1.

  Verify that the bandsaw is setup properly and 

that the table is perpendicular to the blade.

2.

  Use  the  widest  blade  your  bandsaw  will 

accept.

 

Note: 

The  blade  must  also  be  sharp  and  

clean.

3.

  Install  the  resaw  fence,  set  it  to  the  desired 

width of cut, and lock it in place.

 

Note: 

When resawing thin workpieces, set up 

the resaw fence in the alternate position, as 
shown in 

Figure 79

,

 and make sure to use a 

push stick.

4.

  Support the ends of the board if necessary.

5.

  Turn the bandsaw 

ON

.

6.

  Using  push  paddles  and  a  push  stick,  keep 

pressure  against  the  fence  and  table,  and 
slowly  feed  the  workpiece  into  the  moving 
blade  until  the  blade  is  completely  through 
the workpiece.

The fence scale will NOT be accurate when 

using the resaw fence. 

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.

NOTICE

The list below displays blade widths and 

the corresponding minimum radii for those 

blade widths.
