Greeting to all,

Can you please share pictures of your homemade resaw fences. Does anyone use a sliding fence?

thanks
Ken

Some of the best shop built bandsaw fences are simply two pieces of plywood, precision cut, formed into a right angle with triangular support blocks. Fine Woodworking has an article or two on this. From there, its clamped to the table, adjusted for drift, etc...

Don't know if these will be helpful, but you might get some ideas...
The first two pics are of my big saw. It has a rolling table which grips a top billet & tilts to get right on vertical grain. The table advances with the large black wheel & the thickness of cut is read on a dial indicator. (removed at the moment) Tilt is controlled with the small wooden wheel.

This is a simple fence attachment for doing general resawing on my small Laguna.
The "stiffback" dadoed into the fence keeps it from warping.

These are pretty studly but only because I designed them around chunks of aluminum that were about that size.

Hehe.....I have 3000-4000 pounds of aluminum left over from my old business. Imagine how irritating it is when I need a size I don't have.....and have to order more.

Screwing (or sticking) the piece of wood to the fence is an option that worked for me.

This, for example is my "45° - setup" on my INCA 710 which is good for down to 3mm billets (softwood):

More pics here.

I like Daniel Minard's fence which (I imagine) is somewhat easier to handle than mine.

Hey Ken, in case you haven't, check out Borson Resaw, and check out this most excellent OLF thread on resawing. These cover the crucial principles really well.

Peace,
Sanaka
