Resawing is the process of cutting a piece of wood into two thin pieces. It’s commonly done by using a bandsaw, which is a specialized saw that’s designed to cut thin pieces of wood. But what do you do if you don’t have a bandsaw? It’s still possible to resaw wood without one, but it’s important to understand the limitations and the techniques for doing it safely and successfully.
First, you need to understand the limitations of resawing without a bandsaw. Without the specialized blade of a bandsaw, it’s difficult to make straight cuts on thin pieces of wood. Even with a table saw, it’s hard to keep the wood from flexing and twisting as it’s cut. And this can lead to uneven cuts and undesired results. Additionally, it’s important to remember that resawing without a bandsaw is much slower and more labor-intensive than using a bandsaw.
If you’re willing to accept the limitations and proceed with resawing without a bandsaw, here’s how to do it:
- Start by selecting a piece of wood that’s thick enough to resaw. The wood should be at least 1 inch thick and free of any defects or knots that could cause it to split or break as it’s cut.
- Set the table saw blade to the desired thickness. Make sure the blade is sharp and set the saw to the thinnest possible cut that still produces a clean and even edge.
- Secure the piece of wood to the saw table with clamps. Make sure the wood is firmly clamped and won’t move while being cut.
- Start the saw and slowly push the wood through the blade. Make sure to keep your hands away from the blade and use a steady and even pressure to ensure the blade doesn’t bind in the wood.
- Once the wood has been cut, use a sanding block to even out any rough or uneven edges. If needed, use a hand plane to fine-tune the edge.
With a little patience and practice, it’s possible to resaw wood without a bandsaw. Keep in mind that it’s a slower process and won’t produce the same level of precision as a bandsaw. But with a sharp blade and a steady hand, it’s possible to get good results.
