Choosing a Resaw Bandsaw

A resaw bandsaw needs enough cutting height and blade stability to hold a straight line through thick stock. The right model comes down to how tall you need to cut and how much power your shop can supply.

Here are some things to consider when choosing a resaw bandsaw:

  • Resaw capacity: Most saws in this collection cut up to 16 inches. The Laguna 24BX reaches a full 24 inches for the tallest boards.
  • Motor power and voltage: Models range from 1.75 HP on 115V up to 5 HP on 230V, with three-phase options on select Powermatic saws. Match power to your shop's electrical service and typical stock.
  • Blade speed: Some saws run a single fixed speed, while others offer a low and high speed range for more control between resaw and general cuts.
  • Table coating: ArmorGlide models have a coated table designed to reduce friction and resist wear. Standard models use uncoated cast iron and cost less.

Once you know your resaw capacity and available power, comparing blade speed and table features will narrow the field quickly.

Resaw Bandsaws FAQs

What does resaw mean on a bandsaw?

Resawing means cutting a board through its thickness to create thinner slices from a single piece of stock. It calls for a taller cutting height and a wider blade than general wood cutting.

What size bandsaw do I need for resawing?

Resaw capacity depends on frame design, not just wheel diameter. Most saws in this collection resaw up to 16 inches, while the Laguna 24BX handles boards up to 24 inches tall.

What blade should I use for resawing?

A wider blade with a lower TPI holds a straighter line and clears chips faster during a resaw cut. Check our Bandsaw Blades collection for resaw-specific options.
