Bandsaw Resawing Guide
This resawing guide lets you correct for blade drift, and you can build it from parts you probably have lying around your shop.
After struggling with his bandsaw fence, blocks, clamps, and a resaw guide, WOOD® magazine reader John Hodges of Kaufman, Texas, decided to design his own bandsaw resawing guide. You can build one just like it by gathering up some scrap stock and following the illustrations below.
To use this guide, first mark a line along the top edge of the piece to be resawn. Adjust the center portion of the jig (A) until the bandsaw blade aligns with the marked line on the wood. Tighten the wing nuts that hold A securely to B. Tighten the wing nut in part C to secure it in the miter-gauge slot.
Because few bandsaw blades track perfectly straight (making a fence almost useless for resawing), the curved end of part A allows you to steer the board into the bandsaw blade and make adjustments to follow your marked line. We recommend using a 1/2"- to 3/4"-wide skip-tooth or hook-tooth blade for cleaner cuts. And, always use a pushstick for safety when resawing on a bandsaw.

12/27/2011 09:41:49 AM Report AbuseA perfect illustration to my question. The free weekly plan on how to make a Celtic Knot is in an easy to download PDF file. Why can't they do the same with these plans?? I know I can copy and paste everything into a Word document, but that's so clumsy and inefficient.

12/23/2011 05:44:02 AM Report AbuseAnother way to save for later printing is to highlite the picture and text and copy. Then paste into a Word document. Then click on the drawing, copy and paste in the same Word document and Save.

10/25/2011 07:54:51 PM Report AbuseI attempted to print a free Bandsaw Resawing guide. I have been offered a renewal special offer. I can not get past that offer. Due to an error on my part I am already subscribed into 2015. Why can I not download or print the free Jig.
10/13/2011 07:38:01 PM Report AbuseMake the base B wider so you can clamp it to the table once you have it set in place. Also, the spacers for piece A should be slightly thicker than 1/4" so it doesn't bind on the machine screws. The groove in piece B should be correspondingly wider.
