Bandsaw Veneer Cutting

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
