Take a look at the Fine Wood Working article in the Dec 04 magazine if
you want a good article on resawing. The authour uses a 1/2" 3tpi
carbon steel blade that is under tentioned. He says that you don't
even need a high powered bandsaw. I have a grizzly g0555 14" bandsaw.
I tried to resaw with the blade that I had on the machine. It was an
old timberwolf. It was tough going(the blade was old and I'm not
experienced with bandsaws). I followed his instructions to a tee. I
bought two blades form BC Saw ans Tool in Canada (His suggestion). I
made some cuts on 5" red oak, 5" white oak and Poplar and it was
beautiful. Get the latest FWW. It's great...It's so easy!
