We are wanting to fabricate some type of rail saw that will remove at least one live edge from band mill boards that have live edges on both sides...
The two main obstacles at this early stage is the saw itself and how to mount it to a carriage and a way to clamp the board down at both ends (clear of the saw/carriage) from just one end...
open to any ideas etc...the simpler the better we plan to use 3/16" tubing (square or rectangular)
The idea is to be able to slide a duplex live edge board onto the bench and cross-sight eyeball it through the blade so it will pass just inside the innermost lave edge...the operate some sort of lever that will lock the board down at both ends...once it has one straight edge it can be resawn on the table saw...
The current process using a chalk line and a circular saw is PITA....
Ideas or links to anything similar will be helpful...
TIA
