I think the original fence is maybe 5 or 6 inches tall. My add-on fence is 10 inches tall - when I am resawing taller pieces, it is nice to have the taller support. Most of the boards I am currently resawing are about 9 inches wide/tall.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I meant for my fence to be flat, but it seems to have warped a bit. Fortunately it warped convex toward the blade. Sometimes a board I am trying to resaw is warped a bit, and the slight warp of the fence helps to not hold the board out from the fence - I'm always able to keep it flush with the fence.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some saws have attachments that are a small diameter curved piece that attaches to the fence for resawing. What that does is it lets a board go through at whatever angle it needs to to accommodate any drift the blade might have. The blades I'm using don't have drift. They simply cut straight all the time, every time. So I don't find a need for such a device.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A href="http://www.lagunatools.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=119">http://www.lagunatools.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=119</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use the 1-1/4" blade as it is the largest that my saw accommodates. They also make a 2-inch resaw blade. I wish I could afford the saw that can handle that blade!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:002401c74b4f$b3f9ca60$6401a8c0@win2ko9ndzsl7d" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=fmurray@cruzio.com href="mailto:fmurray@cruzio.com">Fenton Murray</A> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks for the great pictures, Terry. I've been off the list for months, just took a peek a followed this thread back to your photos. Thanks so much for sharing. I'd love to see your glue up. I've got a Delta 14" that I know will work fine for resawing up to 6" or so, just have to feed slow and get trued up with fence and feather board. I take it that's what the stack on the right of the stock is acting as. Is the board on the right screwed to a straight fence. I know there are some radiused fences used for re-sawing, although I've not seen or used them.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Fenton</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:002501c74b4f$b3fc3b60$6401a8c0@win2ko9ndzsl7d" align=baseline border=0></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
