Gone

Looks real handy. Of course I would really love a bandsaw like that also.

I think I like it, but I'm not quite sure how it works. Any chance you can elaborate a little?

Do you have a riser on your grizzly? Have seen his video on youtube but the whole blog is helpful.

Thanks everyone

bubbs I added the blog to the post above, it will give you more detail on how it works.

Thomas Yes Thomas and I'm so glad I optioned for it upon purchase.

Randy, That is a fancy sled. You are probably gonna outgrow it as this log slicing is addictive! I started with a sled very similar to yours and now have a monster that's over 6 feet long! I had to build a big outfeed table, buy more roller stands, etc. I don't think there is a cure for this affliction. I now want a bandmill REALLY BAD!

Andy I don't think my shop will allow anything bigger, besides I think you have a bigger saw that I do

Yeah, I've got the 17" Grizz but I think we have the same resaw capacity. Just wait, you'll find a big log that you just HAVE to slice. Enjoy and at least send pics of some live oak!

grizzly w/extension covers 12 inches, what's the motor size on your 17 incjh grizzly?

I came home today and walked by my shop looking at all the cut up logs I have…well not all that many, and I turned on the computer and here it is….I thank Gary for the design and you for showing the blog…I know what I will be doing one day this week.

You'll get a lot of usable wood from this jig!

Quick question for Blackie - I just got a Grizzly G1019Z with riser and 1hp motor - will this be enough to do the same kind of re-sawing considering I have the right blade and some patience?

A really nice sled Randy.

Thanks once again everyone

Kwit to answer your question, I don't know much about your saw as it's been discontinued but it has the same 1 HP mine does and you have the riser for it, I see no reason why it can't do the same thing mine does, I only use a 1/2" size blade on mine as the 14's don't like anything larger. Put a 1/2" 3 tpi timberwolf on it and go to town.

Make sure you follow my blog and this video will help as well.

Thanks so much Blackie..

Since I am a newbie with the bandsaw - this video was a fantastic resource

much appreciated!

The "go slow enough for the blade to do its work is key here. also blade tension and drift? And follow along. I will when I get all my shop euipment set up…......

Randy,

Thanks for posting the blog….....

Well Randy, you are at #2 on the front page for the second time in as many days!

Thanks again everyone one glad I was able to help.

Thomas You are welcome

Hey Dallas, I don't have a clue, I just build it and post it, seems like I get this a lot, what ever I'm doing it must be something right, I think it all adds up to the love and passion I have for my wood creations, I don't know maybe luck? haha

Doc, I have the "Extreme Series 17" and it has a 2 HP motor.

Nice and practicle project, nice log as well
