i cant understand a thing when you type in one giant sentence its
impossible to read it esp when you use abbrv and have no clue where one
starts and one ends i think the best way to get an answer is to write
properly so that we all know what you mean tahanks

A Re-Saw is what does what you've adapted yours to do, and is called a
"re-saw."

A Re-saw is when you mess up the first time.
And have to Re-saw the piece!

I would say so.

How good is it at cutting veneers?
How thin a piece, and how wide?

That is, if this is important to you.

If you don't care about thin slices, enjoy your saw.

A bandsaw is a resaw when it's used to resaw. When it isn't, it isn't,
although it's always a bandsaw.

egsackly.
