ProGrip Bandsaw Re-Saw Jig

[Mike.C]

I purchased this along with 2 of the clamp guides for the bandsaw I had at the time, but for a number of reasons I never got around to using it, and until I found it the other day I forgot that I had it.

Now that I am putting my monster Axminster Plus together and thinking about re-sawing and veneer cutting, which to tell you the truth I have done very little of, I have been trying to find out the best fence to use. Dickm kindly showed me his point type fence, and I have seen a number of other types, such as the extended in height sort, made out of kitchen worktop.

Anyway to my questions. Have any of you used the one below? If so is it any good?

Mike,

I use a standard aftermarket Axi fence fitted to my Startrite 18-s-1 for resawing.

This fence is about 75mm high and if I need a taller support I fit a piece of MDF to the the tee slot in the vertical face of the fence.

I had that fence with my old Elektra Beckum when I sold it. And the fence I have on my new saw looks very good.

I am really just trying to find out what others think of the above jig.

Your idea of extending the fence with MDF fitted to the tee slot is something I am sure I will use.

Cheers

Mike
