Guidelines

What's this tool for?

In general terms this machine will allow you to cut wood and wood like materials. Particularly is good when you want to cut curves and resawing timber.

What’s Resawing?

Strictly, resawing is a type of rip cut (cut along the grain) but across the thickness. In other words, is a cut that will give a workpiece with the same width and length but a reduced thickness. In general terms, resawing could refer widely to downsizing timber. A bandsaw is good at this because it has a thing kerf compared to a table saw and it’s way more safe and forgiving than a table saw when it comes to deal with rough lumber (e.g. cup, bow, twist timber).

What can I cut with it?

You can cut solid wood, engineered wood (MDF, Chipboard, Plywood, CLT, OSB) and some composite materials. Before cutting any composite material (e.g., Plastics, resin-based materials) we ask you to talk to the woodworking cause leader about it.

What I can’t cut with it?

Any materials that contain glass, carbon or Kevlar fibres can’t be cut on this machine.
