Re: Smoke on Resawing

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

James,

Steam makes sense as there was no burning and like Jarred I did not smell anything. I will check MC again but it was 15-16% in summer which is typical for our climate for thoroughly air dried wood. This wood however is 60 yrs old, so it is as dry as it will ever be ?

Aigner makes so many things but did not know they make a press module that is not spring loaded. Maybe you are using the same wheel assembly as I do. I have 1, 2 & 4 plus the 2by2 wheels for resawing.

Imran?

Imran,

My first reaction was that?it was steam, check the moisture content of the wood.

Btw, I have that Aigner resaw pressure module, I have the one-wheel and two-wheel accessory. I use a two-wheel accessory when resawing, it works great. The only shortcoming is it is not spring loaded.

Thanks Joe and Jarred. I should have added there were no knots and I am using carbide resaw king. No burn marks on the wood either. No problem resawing, you can tell from my feed rate; so not a dull blade.?I was wondering if it was steam.?

I don't know what the cause is, but I've experienced the same thing on both WRC and most recently Tennessee Aromatic Cedar. I believe it had something to do with hitting the knots, but I was certain I was going to get a burning ember into my dust collector and be quite sad. I don't see any apparent knots on the boards you're sawing though, so that may not be?the case.

Sorry about the video resolution. I don¡¯t recall this happening with iphone 7 but iphone 13 does this resolution reduction w/o asking. Anyhow, can still see the smoke just not as clearly as in full resolution.

?I did some resawing today. Splitting 2x8 WRC. On some boards, I saw smoke coming out at the beginning of the cut but the blade was cold to touch after I finished. Does anyone know what is happening?

Short video attached.
