I have 4/4 (15/16") Beech lumber (~12" wide, not yet cut to length) that I would like to resaw into at least 50" of 3/8" Beech lumber. I don’t have much experience using the bandsaw for more than cutting shapes or following lines in thin pieces. I have almost no experience with resawing. Would anyone be able to teach me a little bit more about using the bandsaw for resawing? Or, is the Bandsaw class still offered? I don’t think I’ve seen it on the calendar in a while.
In addition to the things that I don’t yet know that I don’t know, I’d like to learn how to make sure the machine is in good working order, ensure the tension is set properly, ensure the blade is aligned, set up for a safe cut, and resaw a board. (I imagine that these are all things that were covered in the bandsaw class)
