This is very true. Most wood just can't hold these sorts of
tolerances. Even the heat generated by cutting will cause dimensional
changes on the order of 0.001". But, like you said previously, we're
not talking about working wood to within a few thousandths of an
inch. We're talking about aligning a machine. The goal here is to
make sure that the machine doesn't introduce additional problems
(beyond those inherent in the wood). You want to avoid having to
clean-up or re-work something that the machine could have done
correctly to begin with.

Exactly and as I mention in another post, I seldom need to address cut edges
other than to bring them to the same smoothness as the other project when
sanding.

There's a "definite maybe" if I've ever seen one! Spoken with true
conviction.


LOL, "definate maybe", the earliest that I recall using that comment was
in the Fall of 1972 when speaking to the store district manager. I was in
my first year of college and the "definate maybe" answer to his question
brought a "College Kid Answer" from him. ;~)


Hey! What's that sharp steel thing hanging out of my mouth? What
the?!?!? Heck Leon, are you fishing again? Geez! Can't a guy offer
some helpful assistance without getting trolled? I didn't suggest
that he buy anything. With regard to his setup I said: "That will do
the trick...". Is that what you Texas boys call the "hard sell"?

LOL, Ed I was just seeing if you were paying attention. ;~)
