| Adam Chamberlain |  14" BAND SAW?December 31st, 1969 06:59 PM The bandsaw is designed to do this kind of work. The operation is called resawing. Make sure you have a new, wide (1/2 in. or larger) blade with a small number of teeth. Adjust your blade tension for the wide blade. Make sure your thrust bearing is in good working order. Your side bearings should be adjusted for optimal function also. If your bandsaw does not have them, you should consider getting graphite impregnated "cool blocks" blade guides to keep heat build up on your blade at a minimum. Be sure to have a replacement blade handy. I hope this has helped. |
