Building A Bandsaw Resaw Fence

This is a pretty simple bandsaw fence design which cost the designer only about 100 to build.

Building a bandsaw resaw fence.

Of course you will have to custom fit the fences to different machinery but it probably isn t designed the way you would think. Put the resaw fence between the blade and the stock rip fence. The designer began by gluing pieces of plywood together to create the fence then ripped them at a 45 angle cutting both front and back rail guides to match. Start by marking a straight line on a scrap board parallel to its edge.

This is definitely the way to go when it comes to building a fence for your bandsaw or even for your drill press possibly another machine in the shop. Using some bolts and nuts the designer mounted up the fence. It s best to use the resaw fence together with the stock rip fence because every bandsaw has something called drift angle a tendency to cut right or left not straight ahead.
