== Resawing == | |||
Using the bandsaw for resawing requires an additional authorization...{{:Authorizations/Advanced Bandsaw, Resawing and Maintenance}}Some additional advice on resawing: | |||
* Buy a nice blade and learn how to install and adjust it. The PS:1 blades are often fairly dull and don't track well. | |||
* Make sure your stock is prepared well, with at least one flat face and one square and flat edge. | |||
* Try to keep only 3-10 teeth in the wood. A 1.5 tpi blade is appropriate for most resawing. | |||
* Use a skip-tooth blade, at least 1" wide (but see note below). | |||

For wider boards, use the adjustable fence with a tall secondary fence attached, carefully adjusted to the drift angle of the blade. For really wide boards, you can also use a presser-board to ensure contact with the fence. | For wider boards, use the adjustable fence with a tall secondary fence attached, carefully adjusted to the drift angle of the blade.
