Magswitch Resaw Guide - Tool Attachment for use with the Magswitch Workholding System

First let me say this system is expensive but it should last a lifetime. The larger magnets have 150 pounds of holding power each which is quite impressive. The whole system is well made. I have 3 separate units each with its own magnets as I am too busy to be "swapping" the base around.This unit is to replace the fence on a band saw and should (IMO) be used with a feather board. It is a "point fence" which enables resawing of bowed boards.

I actually don't own the magswitch base. I made my own base out of 3/4 ply and attached this resaw guide to it. It's working very well. Resawing is so much easier with this guide. I am DIY person that usually prefers to make my own jigs rather than buying them but this was well worth the money.

They dont send instructions, and while it is mostly self-explanatory, there are parts that come with it that I still don’t know what they are.This guide and another are interchangeable with the base which you need to have in order to use this. Unfortunately swapping out different units with the base is kind of a pain in the ass, screws are all different sizes (which was unnecessary they should’ve made them all one size and make it easy). They seem to make it more complicated for no particular reason at all.

Exactly what is shown in picture. I gave this a 3 star because you need the universal base to make this work. I feel that this is as all of their products are over priced. This is still sitting in a drawer because the universal base is to expensive to buy at this point. Thought this would have been to use out of box but no its not. Not happy with my purchase. If i knew i had to keep spending money to make this work i never would have bought this product.

... as long as you're resawing away from the fence. If you're resawing on the fence side, you have to keep moving the magnetic base, which is not it's fault, but slows you down. It's easy enough to set it up so that it is perfectly square to the table base.

This thinks works really well for re-sawing on the bandsaw. I just started using this along with my new blade and Carter Bandsaw Guides, and I am very impressed with the results. Veneers at a consistent 3/32" that are 10" wide.

I now own four magswitch products and am thrilled with all of them. I've used the Resaw guide a number of times now and it performs very well. I taught adult woodworking education for 15 years and have always been very safety conscious; the Magswitch products fit well in my shop.

Might work once you solve the rubik's cube that is the ordering process to get everything you need. Doubt it though, you'll probably need more accessories they can overcharge you for. They want $35 a magnet for the base that this goes with. How ridiculous is that? To sell you an item that will not work. I wish I could give 0 stars
