If I want 2x4's, 2x10's and some 4x4's out of a log. How do you slice it?
A 10x2 with a spike knot running across it is seriously weakened.
I can’t give any advice on the Ripsaw, but I have been doing “a lot” of Ash. Pre drill all your holes. If it is amazing how far it splits… Good luck.
Havn't used yet. I am designing my own.
Lack of money spawns creativity.
Dave , the tensioning and alignment of the 1996 model that I have is not as very complicated . There is a tensioning bolt that pulls a rod . The alignment is a set screw that moves the drive wheel .I'd be very interested in seeing how you do that. I've been toying with the idea of making my own handheld bandsaw for years. I tore apart my Ripsaw and studied it, and came to the conclusion that many of the parts you could easily make yourself, but then some of it would be very difficult. The cast aluminum piece that mates the chainsaw head to the Ripsaw that has the tunnel through it for bar oil from the saw to the pinion gear would be very tricky for most of us. The tensioning and aligning mechanism also looks a bit tricky to get right, but then if you are a machinist you might not have any problem. Keep us informed.
