Resawing
Resawing is the process of cutting a board in half along its height. The bandsaw is perhaps
the most creative tool in the shop because of its ability to cut thick or thin, straight or curved.
The ability to cut thick stock such as resawing, making veneers, book matching or cutting
flitches from small logs has great appeal to the woodworker. These capabilities greatly
enhance the woodworker’s design ability without the need for additional equipment. When a
board is resawed and the two pieces are lying next to each other, you will note that they are
mirror images of each other. When these two boards are glued together, it is called book-
matching.
Note: It is unsafe to cut wood that is unsupported by the table and should never be
attempted. This is especially important to note when cutting round logs.
Blades
Introduction
The selection and use of blades is a very extensive subject, and there have been many
books written on the subject. This section of the manual is intended as a general guide only.
Selecting a blade
Using the correct blade is important, as it is the first step in attaining good bandsaw
performance. The most frequently asked question is "How do I decide on the correct blade
to use?" The answer is not simple, and we will explore it in this section of the manual.
Firstly, there is
NO ideal blade that will do everything. The blades that you choose will be
determined by the type of work that you are doing. Large-tooth wide blades are selected for
fast, coarse cuts, and fine thin blades are used for intricate scrollwork. You will find that you
will need a large selection of blades if you do a lot of varied work and fewer blades if you
are concentrating on one section of bandsawing such as resawing. Using the wrong blade
is the best way to abuse it. Using a blade for its intended purpose allows for maximum
efficiency and is the best way to prolong its life.
Blade terms
Set
The amount that the teeth is wider than the thickness of the backing material is the set. The
larger the set, the larger the saw cut, and the smaller the radius that can be cut. This can
also be an advantage if you are cutting a job that has a tendency to nip the blade. The
