Sounds like you're thinking somewhere but between your ears.

Or are you really as obtuse as you're trying to seem?

George, I think that you should give this some more thought. What if
it's splintery when cutting from both sides? Are you going to try and
ajdust it so that it's equally splintery? Sounds pretty subjective to
me. And what about the cost of keeping a bunch of luan around for
"alignment" purposes? Personally, I haven't had any of this stuff in
my shop for more than a decade. I have no desire to buy any and if it
cost me more than a couple of bucks then I might as well have bought a
dial indicator (which would be much more useful).

What makes you so averse to using a dial indicator?

from either side, you're nuts on regardless of what any third

device tells you.
