Title: Re-saw blades
Post by: Qweaver on February 12, 2006, 06:22:23 PM

I have over 20 beams and posts that I'll need to re-saw this summer. I'd like to get as good a finish as I can because I plan to sand these a little and apply a finish. I looked on the woodmizer site but couldn't find much info on this. My saw is a WM15.

Slower you go through the cut, smoother it will be. Harder on blades, turn more per inch, theroetically(sp) blade fatigue. I sawed some beech for paneling for the house, very slow, very slick. Just my 2 cents.

Woodies do a 4deg hook here for resaw, should do it there

Just to follow-up.
I talked to a WM rep. and he said to use the same general purpose blade(.0042 w/10deg hook) that I've been using or maybe change to a .0045 w/9deg hook. Not much difference really.
