Depending on whether you put blade A on the left or right will determine whether the dado is 1/4" or 3/8". I use a " box joint cutter set", which is a fancy way to say a reversible, two blade dado stack. There are a lot of ways to make box joints, so I won't recap all the different tools/jigs possible, rather just go over what I used. 1/2" blades will resaw just fine on small saws, but larger blades can be too difficult to tension and get tracking correctly.bimetal lasts so much longer than carbon steel blades for little increase in price.0.025" backer makes a huge difference with tensioning on smaller bandsaws like mine,.The joinery will also be 3/8" box joints, so the result will look cleaner if they're squares rather than rectangular.Īs always, I'll recommend a 1/2" x 4tpi x 0.025" backer (0.6mm) bimetal blade on 14" or smaller bandsaws. It's better to do more, shallower passes than to overshoot. Then I can repeat the resawing process.Īfter all parts have been resawn, take them all to the thicknesser to bring them down to as close to 3/8" (9.5mm) as possible. This makes sure all parts maintain 1 square face/edge. I'm able to get 3 piece from my stock (140x45mm rough sawn), so between each pass I take the "waste" side over to the thicknesser, and clean up the freshly roughsawn face. Next up is resawing the stock down to slightly over 3/8" (9.5mm).
