Brand new guy here. Post 1 was in the New Guys section. I'm going to build an open sailboat.
After much research, I concluded that a BANDSAW that can cut wood a tad less than 6" tall,
would be able to cut planks from typical 2x6 boards of 16 feet length. I'll be making scarf joints
aplenty! The planks will be 0.25 of an inch thick, 5.5 inches tall, and longest length will be 16".
(I've learned the woodworking term "RESAWING" as a result of my "digging", as opposed to
"RIPPING" and "CROSS CUTTING".) I'll be using a blade with 3 TPI more or less. I am hoping
to have someone, or more than one of you all, who knows the DELTA Model 28-195 BANDSAW
(so-called 10 inch model) to meet me someplace and look over this unit that I recently bought,
finding it on Craig's List. I'll buy lunch for your trouble! Please send a PM to me if you can help.
Thanks very much!
Jack
