I needed some 1/2 in panels to build cabinets . I initially made about 6 cabinets, and used my bandsaw mill to mill the 1/2 in stock with some over run. The same person then had me build another, and now another cabinet to match. I was out of 1/2 in stock, so am resawing out of 4/4. I do not own a bandsaw, so I re sawed using a 6 point rip saw. I think Jim K. mentioned using a 6 point Disston for some of his rips for panels. I did a couple of 6 in. x 20 in. long rips, and my question is about technique. This is how I did them... P1020246.jpg I sawed from one corner to the other keeping the saw carefully centered on my scribe line. The saw was loading up in 6 inches of rip cut. It was cutting ok in about 3 or 4 inches of wood P1020252.jpg. I flipped the board over and sawed to the center of the board from each side,repeatedly P1020255.jpg .
I have not tried this before, so I am wondering where I can improve. Comments?
