I finally got around to installing a riser block and new thrust bearings in my used bandsaw last night and tuned it following Mr. Duginske's book; what a help. I set the fence up to make some thin cuts in a piece of 4" scrap and the saw performed quite well. Using calipers, I was making .057" cuts with a .001" difference from the front to back of the cut and a .003" difference from the top to the bottom of the cut.

I figured I did an excellent job setting the saw up until I attempted to bookmatch the pieces I noticed that they didn't quite match up around the start of a small knot. 4461644617
Seeing as you are all volumes of ww knowledge, could someone lend a suggestion as to what I'm doing incorrectly? Are the cuts not precise enough or is it that the figure of the wood changes so dramatically that the removal of the width a saw kerf disrupts the pattern this much?
Thanks for your suggestions
