- Resawing--essentially vertical ripping--is a great way to turn thick woods into thinner slabs for bookmatching, veneering, or bending with little waste. In this video, WOOD magazine's Bob Hunter walks your through the process of resawing with a bandsaw, including blade selection, tune-up tips, setting the fence, and more.

This little band saw has turned out to be the best tool purchase I've ever made czcams.com/users/postUgkx5ZrqmYO2uJq_nuU8TopyWxVzn8vqmPUL Once doing the set-up as per the included suggestions, this table top tool has been my go-to saw ever since (8 months as of this review). There are few things I wouldn't attempt with this saw. It takes up much less space than my table saw yet delivers twice as much punch. I've used it to create slices of wood no thicker than an 1/16th of inch by using the POWERTEC BS900RF Rip Fence. For small shop projects this tool can't be beat.
Very nice video. Adjusting the fence for drift (if a person can't figure out how to eliminate it altogether), is better than trying to free hand it. Results in a much straighter cut. For me, resawing your own wood is a pure joy.
Blade drift can be fixed. Think of the tires as balloons and the blade is sitting on the side of the balloon. Too far back of the curve of the balloon and the blade cuts away from the fence. Too forward and it cuts into the fence. BUT it takes a lot of adjustment to get it right.
Oh my. Must try this tomorrow. Hopefully sort out my drift issues. Not seen this before.
I’ve watched a number or resaw videos and this is the first one that went into “blade drift”. There were others that showed the pivot method vs the fence method, but this is the first video I saw that showed a fence adjustment for blade drift. Definitely looks like something that will be good for me to try. Thanks.
There is a lot of misunderstanding in this video. For a straight cut the "only" thing that matters is the alignment of the fence, the rest is secondary. There is no such thing as "blade" drift, the drift people see is caused by a misaligned fence, not by the blade!
Actually blade drift is *not* caused by the fence (the fence can't act on the blade). It's caused by where you place the blade on the crown of the wheels. Try to keep the gullet of the blade just a little off center of the wheel/tire width.
Very. Good video! I have a 9” Ryobi in my small workshop, it also doesn’t come with a Fence..gonna work on that soon. I. Try to make the most out of my wood and resawing will help me to create the right thickness for my Drawers and a nice Laminate for the front piece. Very handy to have.
Thanks for your time.
Outstanding presentation. Clear and well informed suggestions. Thank you!
Great video; I've looked everywhere for a video showing how to do this! Thanks!
Fantastic video; learned a ton. Thank you for sharing this!
3:33 That's a great tip for the tension thanks
Perfect instructional video ✊🏾
Very educative thanks
Superb video, answered so many questions for me. Thank you. :)
Tis an excellent video on resawing. Huge help Thanks so much
Thanks Great Info Great Setup !
Awesome tutorial guys great information.
Thank you!
thank you good info to me
Wonderful! ))
I like Laguna's method for checking fence alignment. (Notice I didn't say drift) Cut into some thin stock about one inch and stop the saw. Check to see that the back of the blade is in the center of the kerf. Adjust fence accordingly.

This is the Alex snodgrass method that Laguna adopted, Alex has a great video on this method that’s about 10 yrs old on u tube. But like you , Drift is a myth and excuse for not setting your saw up correctly, wrong size and TPI for given stock, dull blade, or using your saw beyond its intended capabilities such as using risers without thought given to Motor HP and size of blade your saw is limited to. If you use the method you spoke of and still cannot run a straight cut then it’s something other than “ drift “
Great Video! Thanks for Sharing! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
Great video. Very helpful! Where do I get a Wood Slicer Blade? I have a craftsman
Thank You for your video. I am attempting to resaw a piece of brazilian Rosewood. Would you recommend the 1/2 inch or the Wood Slicer Blade. Thank You!!
The clearance question on side bearings was ignored. Seems to me this can be an very important part of tuning your bandsaw.
actually if you have a good blade that cuts evenly, you don´t even need the side guides. The cut will be perfectly straight. You will have to use a good blade, that you only use for straight cuts, so the set stays percestly symmetrical. I found that with a good blade, you don´t even need a ton of tension...

🎥 Great Video 🎬 ! _ Congratulations! 👍 🇧🇷
I'm trying to resaw a bunch of 8/4 maple 8 inches wide. The blade is bowing in the center.... any suggestions?
Great video! Why didn't you just use your cut board rather than the angle finder to set the fence to your drift angle?
I would think because the board is too long and it hits the blade?
Have you ever watched a video on setting up a bandsaw and any 2 agree?
Im putting a portable BS on a home made stand.What is the distance from the floor for my working surface??
That appears to be horizontal drift. is there such a thing as vertical drift?
Is that a 14 inch band saw?

03:27 For what size bandsaw? How high did you put your guides before doing that? How hard are you pushing? Is it a no clearance slot?
Nice "trick", hardly usefull unless we have exactly the same type of bandsaw...
Help! In this video each time the saw is cutting there is an unusual repetitive sound. What is it and is an indication of a problem? I'm new to using a bandsaw and mine makes this sound as well. Would someone please provide me with help with this? Thank you!
The blade is welded into a circle. The weld is just a bit thicker so it makes a noise as the weld passes through the wood.
No such thing as blade drift if the deepest part of the blade gullet is set at the center on the top wheel.
Your blade could be dull on one side more than on the other which causes blade drift even if the blade is perfectly set on the wheels. Also if the set of the teeth is not properly (stronger set on one side than the other) this can cause the blade to drift to one side or the other. I experienced both issues on my bandsaw from time to time.
Always use quality sharp blades like a wood slicer for resawing and set the blade on the deepest part of the gullet to center of wheel. Never do I have blade drift. Watch Alex Snodgrass video.
I wish I could afford one that resaws 8" stock. Someday...
I modified a 14" Harbor Freight bandsaw with a grizzly riser block (had to drill new dowel pin holes) For under $500.00 I can re-saw up to 11"

Do you have a video showing your setup? I'm really interested in that harbor freight bandsaw
@@psychotikpaisano Sorry but I don't have a decent camera to do videos yet. Here's the links to what I purchased though. The upper guide rod is the wrong size so I got a piece of stock at TSC

I just bought a laguna LT20. I have 20¾ inches of resaw height.
Sucks to be you guys🤣🤣🤣
@@richardpatterson4312 imagine spending 6 thousand dollars on a band saw then bragging about it on CZcams get a life loser 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
06:03 I thought you would flip one piece and see how the edges match up.
Why not set the table so that the miter slot is parallel to the blade
i don't think it is possible to rotate the table in that way
And the debate over blade tracking continues. I'm a "center the blade on the tire" kinda guy.
Why not just flip the piece you cut off and check the known true 90 against the other piece ? If it cut straight it should line up square and true.
Set your bandsaw up properly and you will not have drift. Spend the extra money and get a fence for your saw.
This badass WOULD work for a place called “wood” magazine.
Yeah...well, the drift was still there. At 9:00 clearly visible. Try again, guys.
Not necessarily. The tension in the wood was being released as well and can cause the panel to bow like that. All day long.
Drift angle !!!
"drift" is a confusing term. More like "alignment"
Guys, with all due respect to the presenter, do yourself a favor and ignore this video. Look up Alex Snodgrass or mr bandsaw. Or, waste your time.
Lost you when you checked the blade tension at table and not in cabinet

Tyre not tire
No such thing as blade drift. Adjust the position of the blade on the top wheel then eset the guides. Hokery pokery.
The blade gullet bottom should be at the apex of the top wheel. No blade drift. Moving the blade forward as this video shows causes blade drift and is an incorrect setting.
The instant this guy said "blade drift" I turned it off .... A properly set band saw has no blade drift. If someone ever makes reference to "compensating for blade drift" they have no idea how to properly set up their tool and should be ignored.
czcams.com/video/4k-r5utmU2Q/video.html
Also ... if the GULLET of your band saw blade is not riding right on the CROWN OF YOUR WHEELS, your blade will never track true, which means you'll always end up trying to compensate for your blade veering and drifting about on it's own. This was his major mistake.... he set the blade up to be forward of the crown, which is DEAD WRONG.
