Hi Don;

Sorry if I was not clear. What I ment is small circular saws were used to resaw 3" vertically sawn "deals" into 3x4 or 3x5s, and to edge boards or planks and cut lath. I am not aware of circular sawn material being resawn vertically but I can imagine a vertical gang saw where a board goes in one side and lath comes out the other: just a thought.
