I know I talked about cutting rings in half for my bowl from a board to get more twist. I wanted to show how I do it. I made a sled for my bandsaw. I double sticky tape the ring to the sled and cut slow. I adjust the sled with the first ring on to cut center. After they are all cut I run them through the drum sander to true them up.

Great idea, Rusty! Is the miter slot runner adjustable?

My next bandsaw will have more than 6" resaw capabilities!!!!!!!!

No it is not adjustable. I buy the white cutting boards from Sam’s Club and cut them up to use as runners. They never change with the humidity and seem to be self lubcrating. I have never had a problem with one.

How do you position the sled so it slices the rings in half?

The top half is adjustable. It slides on the bottom piece and there are two bolts to lock it down.

Thanks, Rusty!

Ok I went out and took a few pictures.

Thanks, Rusty!

The plastic in cutting boards is HDMW and will slide like it has wheels. I have it on some of my mitre slot jigs. Your resaw jig looks very much like an old Wood magazine model. Even with the jig I have never been able to get that even of a cut.

Thanks for sharing this, great idea!

You definitely need to have the bandsaw set up right to make straight cuts.
