About our machine
- Model#: B600A
- Blade: 111" by 3" .75 TPI
- Max cutting height: 11.8" (300mm)
- Max cutting width (with guide): 10.24" (260mm)
- Owned by Oden Torres
- This is the perfect machine for cutting veneer or slicing large lumber into thinner boards.
- You must talk to Alex N, Oden T, or Jeff H to get access to this tool. It will be locked out, with the key available to those that get checked out.
- Hitachi Resaw Manual
For reference:
- Blades cost $175 (acetool.com)
- Motor costs $250
Important Notes
- Shut it off immediately if it stalls or gets stuck. The motor can burn out if it stalls.
- Do not force wood through. The saw can cut very fast, but it may slow down going through knots or dense parts of wood, and suddenly speed up or jump after it goes through.
- Secure round or odd-shaped material to a sled. Do not cut unstable items - if they roll or shift during the cut they can jam and damage the blade.
- Finish your cut by pulling from the backside of the machine.
- DO NOT finish your cut by pushing with your hand or a pushstick.
- DO NOT CUT RECLAIMED LUMBER WITH ANY METALS JUST LIKE THE REST OF OUR SAWS.
- DO NOT ADJUST THE TENSION, GUIDES, OR BLADE. Ask Oden if you think any adjustment is needed. It more than likely does not.

Maintenance
- Every use: Clean dust off the machine's surface and moving parts
- As needed: Steel surface should be coated with a thin layer of paste wax
