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.
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).
