Bandsaw Veneer Cutting

[Farrell]

Thanks Greg, but how do you go about cutting an exactly 1.0 mm thick
veneer - not 1.1 mm, not 0.9 mm, but 1.0 mm? My saw is the first bandsaw I
ever cut a stick on, so I'm sure there are some basic techniques that I am
simply ignorant of.

Terry,
         If your new Bandsaw doesn't do this you've messed up the settings
somehow. Since we both have the same unit except that you purchased yours a
little after mine and have the new and improved ceramic guides, I can say
that definitively as I have no problem cutting veneers of any thickness
repetitively. Once the veneers are cut you can use double sided tape to
stick them to a known flat board and run them through the planer for
cleaning up unless of course you prefer the drum sander which will do
approximately the same thing providing that the planer knives are sharp and
set properly.  Hope this helps.
