   You are not the first person to ask, so I'm going to recycle my previous answer:

   "I built that sled specifically for testing of the saws and I cut a lot of wood on it for that article and another band saw test we did a few years ago.

   To be honest, the sled is cumbersome to use, requires several minutes to set up and adjust, and the stock being sawn needs to be screwed onto the carriage from behind with brass screws that will get sawn off during the last few cuts if you are going to use all of the stock. It isn't a practical design for day to day use, doesn't offer any real advantage over resawing by hand, and it has relatively limited capacity. It is however a blast to watch."
