Several weeks back I needed to resaw some mahogany. First attempts on my Ridgid 14" bandsaw were dismal to say the least. Well, thanks to some help from Mike Davis, KenofCary and a few others I have it performing to an acceptable level. So to aid in consistant resaw cuts I made a jig to help set my Carter magnetic fence. It is just a 3/4" thick piece of mahogany about 12" long and 1.8" wide. I drew lines every 1/8th inch. Then made a 4" long kerf on each line.
To set the fence I then insert the blade into the kerf for the thickness I want to resaw about 2" in.
I then slide the fence to the jig matching the angle of the jig to the blade.
Every resaw cut I have done has the very consistant in thickness.
Thanks for looking.
