Though the resaw process can be easy and a delight when the machines are well adjusted and your stock has consistent grain, it can be a nightmare when either aren't. Resaw on the band saw requires that the guides be adjusted carefully. If you have only cut thinner stock on your band saw (up to 2" or so) you may have never had the need to carefully adjust the guides. Here it is critical so that the blade is guided in the same direction both below the table and above the work on the descending arm. Better quality replacement.
