Hi Chris thanks for the reply
sorry bout the noob question , just ive heard so much can go wrong
with the bandsaw
i havent even used a bandsaw yet
(i only have the 1/2" blade that i got with the saw)
and i want to get used to the motions before i try to cut something thick
(i will be gettin a real good blade)
Arent you "gansta rap chris " that slices his zoot with pinachhe ?
Do you do the .....
mark out a line and cut freehand a faced board thats as long as the table
then set your fence to the faced board edge .
(Correcting Bandsaw Blade Drift ala youtube)
I would have thought their would be a good chance of the board slipping
while youe setting your fence to the faced edge ?
BOTTOM LINE
I think what your saying is the drift is gonna change with a deeper plank /harder wood
and i have to adjust it by eye from there
which makes the sliding bevel useless for setting up for resawing
otherwise youd use one ?
Just thought a good sliding bevel would be cheeper than a 8" test board
Thanks anyway
tomas
