Making Thin Lumber and Veneer Out of Ordinary Boards
|
Resawing is cutting a board
into two or more thinner boards.
A resaw cut runs all the way through the width of a board, as opposed to ordinary rip cuts where the blade needs only to cut
through the stock's thickness.
The bandsaw is the ideal tool for this job. Not only is it much safer than a circular saw for this kind of operation,
its narrow kerf and vertical blade movement make it extremely efficient, wasting minimal wood and cutting easily and quickly
even if you're using a fairly low-power bandsaw.
Being able to resaw lumber to any thickness opens up a whole new set of woodworking possibilities. Resawing can be easy –
all you have to do is cut VERY straight lines. That said, many woodworkers find resawing to be a frustrating challenge.
