Band saw question

[Raider Ronnie]

I need to cut a high speed fairing block and am pretty sure I'm going to need a band saw to cut it and I don't own one
Looks like my cheapest option is to pick up something like this @ Home Dept
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ctId=100593258
By calling this 9in, what is the 9in , the height from the table up, or the length of the table???
The fairing block I need to cut is 5 1/2in tall, and I need to cut it at an angle.
Was hoping Home Depot rents one, but no luck, and I doubt I'll need to use it again!

I'll cut it for you if you want Ronnie

I'm not sure what a fairing block is though

ya sure

you bring the block here, I don't know how to get to there from here and have no gas to get there

a 9" bandsaw means iy will cut a 9" radius usually
I doubt very much that would cut anywhere close to the height you'll need.

All I can suggest is try to have it cut locally up there and ask around
gotta be lots of woodworking somewhere up there

or use a handsaw? bowsaw? coping saw?

What he said...that's 9" from the inside of the neck to the blade.

If it's important, find a proper saw...that's a manly cut.

Reciprocating saw? Sawzall?

Most any wooden boat shop will have a bandsaw capable of cutting a fairing block. You will need the big bits to fit the transducer also. But you could buy one of the standard ones and glass it in if it's a plastic boat.

I ended getting helped out by an old timer up in Maine today who has a boat/woodworking shop up the road from where my boat is.
Had to beg the guy to take some $$$ for helping me out!
