This review is from: Kreg KMS7214 7-Inch Resaw Guide (Tools & Home Improvement)

There's a series of struggles the typical bandsaw owner goes through as one moves from cutting shapes - where a little bit of wantering can be compensated for - to resawing, where accuracy and stability have a direct financial effect. Let's begin with the statement that all bandsaws below 18" will have a tendency to wander under resawing pressure unless they are perfectly aligned. For that matter even bigger saws will suffer this problem if the work is hard.

99% of the problem can be resolved by makinging sure the wheels are balanced and coplanar, the guides are set correctly, the blade sharp, and the fence is adjusted to cut straight. The latter involves a bit of a trick, because this isn't about getting the fence square to the blade, but getting the wood feeding at the right angles so that the blade cuts evenly. If you do all that you can cut down to veneer without this gadget.

If for one reason or another your fence isn't adjustable enough and you don't feel like making a compensating jig, then this guide is a life saver. The plate has a curve to it that allows you to shift the angle of work to the blade on the fly. It got me through the rough times before I did get my saw right, and when you're resawing this is one of those twenty dollar gadgets that gan be worth enough to pay for a better saw. Nowadays it sits in a drawer waiting for those trips to a friend's shop where the saw is less predictable.

After fighting for years trying to resaw wood evenly, I had given up. Along comes this tool and even an amateur like myself can resaw perfect bookmatched pieces almost every time.

With a little adapting, it even mounted to my 16" Grizzly band saw.

If you were like me and have trouble resawing wood with a drifting saw blade, buy this tool and you won't be disappointed.

This tool like most everything Kreg makes is finely made. The machining and anodizing are exceptional. It sets up easily if you have their fence and not too much bother if you need to match it to someone else's. I'm going to get the smaller one too!
