Default veneer

I have been told you can cut veneer on a band saw.

First; can you?


Sure, assuming...

1. you have a decent bandsaw

2. you have a decent blade

3. you have a decent fence

4. you have adjusted the fence for drift

Given the above, slicing off veneer is pretty easy. It is easier from a
wide piece of wood than from a narrow one.

Would you cut it with the thin slice between the blade and the fence
or would the slice be on the open side of the blade. ie the block
between the blade and fence.


Either way. The former means you don't have to move the fence (at the price
of stability); the latter is more stabile but you have to move the fence for
each cut. Spend $395 for Laguna's Driftmaster fence and that is easy too.
