i cant understand a thing when you type in one giant sentence its impossible to read it esp when you use abbrv and have no clue where one starts and one ends i think the best way to get an answer is to write properly so that we all know what you mean tahanks
A Re-Saw is what does what you've adapted yours to do, and is called a "re-saw."

resaw is a type of cut, not a type of saw...

A bandsaw is a resaw when it's used to resaw. When it isn't, it isn't, although it's always a bandsaw.
egsackly.

I would say so.
How good is it at cutting veneers? How thin a piece, and how wide?
That is, if this is important to you.
If you don't care about thin slices, enjoy your saw.
I thought it was when you took a 2nd look at the babe in the tight pants..
