Project Information
I acquired some old Cedar fence posts from a friend and wanted to resaw them for projects. The blade on my Delta 14inch Bandsaw was dull and only allows for a 5 3/4" resaw height, so I opted to make a resaw jig for my Table Saw.
This Jig allows you to resaw post up to 6 1/2 inches in diameter. That is the most I can get out of the 3 1/4 inch blade rise on my saw blade
I don't like cutting anything with a non-guarded saw blade that is raised to 3 1/4 inches, but this jig keeps your hands well away from the blade. Just make a pass on one side, flip the jig over and finish your cut on the other side.
The jig allows you to resaw from 22 inch to 38 inch lengths.
The dimensions of the jig are: 47" long X 7" wide X 6 7/16" high.
There are four 1/4 X 20 threaded knobs used to tighten down the movable end of the jig.
The table saw fence is set to 11 inches which allows for the 7" width of the jig and a 4" radius on the post.
The posts are attached to the jig using at least three 2" Deckmate screws.
If I have copied any other LJ's project, I apologize, I did a search for other resaw jigs like this and did not find any.
Thank you for viewing this project.
