---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Terry, Perhaps I read your original post incorrectly. I doubt any=20 commercially available tool within a reasonable price range could be that=20 accurate. I'm not sure what you are doing with this ultra fine measurement= =20 anyway but if that's what your looking for you'll just have to purchase it= =20 from the big boys. If, however, a uniform thickness of something close to=20 that is what your after, all your really doing is carefully setting the=20 fence, assuming the rest of the saw is in proper shape. My apologies for=20 the misunderstanding. Greg At 07:13 PM 1/14/2004, you wrote: >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?
