Hi all ….
At the risk of hijacking this thread a bit I would like to pass on a band saw tip that some may find useful. I made a very simple jig for a friend without a table saw to cut triangle stock quite successfully on a band saw.
Start with a piece of melamine or similar material cut to the size of your band saw table.
Draw a line on that stock that will intersect the center of the blade. Cut that line out to a distance just greater than that, from the front of the table to the back of the blade.
Now with a router and a 45 degree bit, route the stock on the center of that line from one side to the other.
You should now have a table sized piece with a V grove cut across it with a saw slit in the middle of the groove for about half its length... To use you simply, thread it on to the blade; clamp it to the saw table, square to the blade. Now feed squared stock though and you will have all the tri stock you could ever want.
I hope my explanation is clear enough as it is one of those thing that is easy to make, not so easy to explain. I don’t have one myself so I can’t offer a picture to make it a little less confusing.
