Today's Resaws?

[steven newman]

Had a bunch of Ash scraps...too thick too be used as is....decided to thin them down a bit....and try out the brand new tablesaw blade..

Old blade was starting to burn stuff...New blade had to be installed from UNDER the top of the saw...BTW..

Wanted to square the ends of some of the boards, and see what the cuts looked like..

Yes it is very sharp..

Cut is a tad on the rough side...then set up to do some resaw work...

Zero Clearance Overlay...cut will leave 1/2" of "good" wood...

Almost deep enough...so, to remove that last bit..

Disston D8 , 28", 5-1/2 ppi RIP saw....

Doesn't have quite as wide of a kerf, as the tablesaw does..

 

Once I got the middle of each board..

I was left with..

5 pieces, 4" wide, by 1/2" thick..and five at 1/4" thick....same set up for the rest of the "scraps"

These only needed 2 passes through the tablesaw...and..

These 3 only needed a single pass each.. Tablesaw was busy, today..

And the hand saw was too...

Half of it's sawdust stayed up on the bench, the other half?

Made a nice little pile on the floor below....

 

Will let the pieces sit a spell, while I decide on what to make with them....maybe another boring little box?

Stay tuned..

Another you say?  Haven't seen one yet!

Not a boring one, anyway. That's for sure.
