Thickness Planer

[Farrell]

Thank you Greg. What a wonderful idea. I'm sure I could make that work somehow or other - at least worth a try. Some of my thinking on bridge cap laminations also runs toward: how smooth a cut do we need? What about just a nice smooth cut straight from the band saw? Something the equivilent of a 60 to 80 grit sanding job?

I cut some sample 1 mm laminations with an inappropriate band saw blade (really coarse) and 9 laminations clamped together totalled 12 mm thick! I guess right around 25% air! Nope, gotta get a smoother surface than that!
