Wow! That is one cool looking saw! Nice fence, too. What kind of blade do you have on there?

Thanks guys, I wasn't really planning to do any re-sawing but I figured hey I'm 55 years old and I might not remember that. So why not get a saw that could do a little just in case, ya just never know when you might run across an old piece-o-brazilion. I mostly just wanted to be able to resaw the neck center piece which is what you see in this picture and to cut neck blanks in half. I just bought a couple extra blades from Grizzly and this one is a 3/4" 3 tooth skip. It cut the 5" thick maple just like it should. That fence is pretty cool to, the tall part comes off with the twist of a knob and the whole thing just lifts off when the clamp is released.
Now I gotta clean up the shop a bit.John How38889.1009953704

Oh man, saw envy! John, that looks like an awesome saw. Congratulations.

If you should get some billets in the mail soon, just resaw them and return to sender!

I've got the little Grizzly...the 14" Ultimate, and a riser block in case I forget too! I had the older 14" before that...Grizzly's a great tool...congrats and happy re-sawing John!

Alan, some time ago you asked about using my bandsaw for some resawing and I told you my saw probably wouldn't handle it. If you still need that done, shoot me a PM, I think we can do it now.

Wow! I'm a Laguna devotee, but I could easily be tempted with that machine, if only for the fence!!!

Very nice.
