That’s a nice cut John. I too have experienced great cuts from the woodmaster blades. Unfortunately I have not been able to sharpen my last well...

Did you miss a decimal place? It doesn't really look like your veneers are <1/64".

Nice post, thx for sharing... I have not done a lot of very thin re sawing, but I might have some projects coming up that require a lot of thin...

I am at a point in life where I do whatever I want, provided I am still ABLE to do it, pretty much exclusively ;-) I'm just gathering information...
