A Bandsaw Sled Like No Other // Resawing, Crosscutting: I've Never Had This MUCH Control Before!

Рет қаралды 314,228

4 жыл бұрын

For years cutting cylindrical things (be it length wise or crosscutting) was a daunting task for me. I've twisted blades and damaged projects thinking I could keep my stock from being yanked and torn from my hands by the bandsaw blade. This thing is a game changer now! Not only can I now cut dowels of any sizes, I can safely cut rounded logs in half easily, shape square or off balanced stock that'll go on my lathe...with so much more future potential!

Yep...accept I alienate most of my audience. I’ve used the metric system on projects before and loved it...but I’d hate to have to balance that and the imperial system during a project.

@niklar55 4 жыл бұрын

@@MakeThings The tape measures, and steel rules, that I buy from the UK, are marked in both metric, and imperial dimensions, so I can work in either, or sometime both, whichever is the most convenient. Frequently, I use the inch measurements for checking long boards, as the numbers are bigger and easier to see, in poor light. Other times when working in metric, an inch measurement will be on an exact line whereas the metric lands in between, so I use the inch.😊 (I'm also relatively ambidextrous.) In addition, when dividing, inches are often easier, just double the denominator to halve, quadruple to quarter etc. Whereas with metric one quickly ends up with fractions of a millimetre, which is inconvenient. Horses for courses!

Long grain to long grain miter is very strong. Possibly stronger than a box joint in this application because there are no cuts across the long grains of the wood causing weak spots. Glue in this specific edge to edge miter is certainly stronger than the wood itself. There's no need for splines. It's end grain miter joints that benefit from reinforcement

Nice jig! It reminds me of one that I made a few years ago, except mine was dedicated to splitting cylinders and incorporated a hacksaw blade as a splitter on the outfeed side. I found that sometimes there was tension bound up in branches and that they would close up the gap and bind on the blade. The splitte r also helped prevent the workpiece from twisting, ensuring a straight cut.

There's one idea I was really itching to put in that I'll make a video about in the future. I'm glad I'm not the only one that has made an "oops" with bandsaws. They're billed as one of the most safest machines in the shop but can be very dangerous in this regard.

I've used bandsaws for more than 30 years and only ever cut flat boards. A couple of years ago I thought I would cross cut a small log in prep for woodturning and yes I needed to change my pants 😂 not to mention the blade that broke and jumped off the tyres while still spinning. Your jig is superb as always and a knowledge of these simple dangers is really important. Everyone talks about table saw kickback, but every machine has a different temperament and danger that many are unaware of. Thank you Rob 😊 ॐ

Thanks for sharing good tips. For your safety the pieces should be longer when cut them in the tablesaw. There should be a "knife" mounted after the blade to hold the pieces apart and to reduce friction between the blade and the wood and to hold it down. There should also be a proctection hood over the blade that also helps holding the piece of wood down to the table if the blade wants to lift the piece. No knife, no hood and a short piece of wood is dangerous and an accident waiting to happen.

@MakeThings 4 жыл бұрын

1. The piece won’t lift. The blade pushes down not up. 2. A splitter is not necessary unless you’re suggesting every board cut with a bandsaw needs one. 3. As for length, I’m not entirely sure what you mean. As a board gets longer it becomes more difficult to work with. Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it Sven! Happy holidays buddy!

Seems to me that if you make two of these one can be shorter to cross cut and then for ripping lengths of wood you could make it several feet long and have even more support both on the input an output sides. Also by making it longer you could use more V supports if you make them deeper they would support the two sides and it wouldn’t matter what joint you use for the two boards that are glued up at ninety degrees. This reminds me of the old V blocks I would use to cut round stock only on a larger scale. Definitely need to make some though they are a definite upgrade and more versatile then cutting a 6 inch to 12 inch 2 x 4 lengthwise at 45° and attaching them to a thin piece of plywood or hardboard to make the V blocks I used to use.
