Unfortunately, SawStart is one-use-only. Once started, the blade cannot be stopped, and must be replaced with a fresh blade while the running one is carefully disposed of.
This stupid perpetual motion machine just keeps going faster and faster!
Perfect for Bond Villains:
So they can explain their evil plan without shouting over the noise of the bandsaw, while Bond is slowly pushed towards it by a conveyor belt.“Do you expect me to talk?”
“No Mr. Bond, I expect you to resaw.”
But table saws are no good for resawing, you need a bandsaw for that!
I’ve resawn a lot of stock on my table saw. Largely because I don’t own a band saw.
Funny thing is, a lot of benchtop model band saws don’t have the resaw capacity of my jobsite table saw. I can resaw damn near 7 inches with it.
Wow
Depends. It’s usually not the best tool for the job, but it can do it.
If there’s a flat side and it’s thin enough to run through the saw, it’s fine.
If there’s a flat side, but it’s too thick, often you can flip it end over end and get it done with two passes.
If there’s no flat side, you can often screw it down, clamp it, or tape it to a plywood board.If you have a bandsaw, it’s often safer and easier, but a tablesaw will get you a straighter, cleaner cut if it’s possible.
A lot more impressive though
