Help with thick wood cutting


Kragax

Recommended Posts

Ok, as usual I have a question or two. I have been trying to cut wood two inches thick on my saw with poor results. I am getting a cut with a diagonal slant.(its the best way I know how to explain it.) I have tried different blades, speeds, ect. The walnut was a real issue. I next moved to basswood. This worked better but Im still getting that differential from top to bottom. Im sure there are a lot of factors. My blade is square to the table. I have tried slower feed rates and different blade (Flying Dutchman) tensions but....well you know. In your experience what should I try to work on first that will give me better results? And again I thank you in advance...........Craig

 

PS. Im using a Hawk 220

I have no solution for you.  I have only cut a miximum of 1 1/4 inch thick and had similar problems.

I solved this with a change to a medium sofl wood, Spanish Cedar.

You are well past the maximum for in my opinion for making any turning cuts. Most especially for

the harder wood.

Maybe someone has a solution...I'll wait to see.
