Hey, this is a wood working forum. I thought we weren't suppose to worry about measurements in the thousandths????

Dusty - your thin strips are lookin' good to me! Nice Work!!! Better than I've ever purposefully done!
Ed - If wood gets so expensive that I have to worry about making sawdust, I'll get back into the forestry business and thank all of the environmentalists for their concerns. -- Your other reasons are more acceptable to this old curmudgeon!;)

The top pix is labeled 1/16".
The lower pix is labeled 1/32".
The top pix appears to be thinner than the lower one.
OK OK OK So ya 'fixed' it! Anyone who is confused, check the quotes of the 'original' post!!!

Notice the pix have been reversed!!!!:rolleyes:dusty wrote:is not a difficult task. The operator must pay attention to detail, however.
Actually, I do not know exactly what I did to eliminate my symptoms of a drafting bamd.
I still have the same blade and the same cool blocks installed and the cool blocks have not been adjusted.
I did have the blade off so tension might be different. I know for certail that the cool blocks have been lowered to just above the stock being ripped AND
I am using a different fence.
I have a low profile fence attached to the table right now so that I can rip real thin pieces. Cutting thinn pieces I could not get the cools blocks low enough with the regular fence.
CONCLUSION: As someone has already implied - OPERATOR ERROR.

For me the time has arrived I got some pieces of exotic/intense grain wood that I just look at, because knowing the cost I can't bring myself to cut on them yet.
Perhaps my problem is buying that expensive wood to begin with.

It is nice to be able to get 3 (THREE) usable (>3/16") pieces from a 1 inch(3/4") board!Ed in Tampa wrote:Chuck

I have used my bandsaw with minimal problems to rip stock. One thing I do is to run the wood over my tablesaw first, cutting about 1/4" deep groove. This allows the bandsaw to follow a pre-determined 'track' of sorts. I never heard of adjusting the fence for the blade variance, I will do so.
My method wont work if you are trying to cut thin stock though, as a table saw blade might be wider than 1/32"...
