So i am doing some laminate bending, and i get a resaw of some 1/8 stock done. Of course there are minor changes in the thickness of the 1/8th piece, so i would prefer to plane it down to get a good even thickness so the curve of the wood will be uniform and all of the layers bend evenly in the press and have good glue contact.
How do you recommend planing it down? I have a DW734, and seem to get a lot of chipout at the ends, and sometime along the entire length of the piece. I have a long smooth board i use as a sled, but this doesn't fix the chipout.
Suggestions?
PS: While i like the vacuum bag system from rockler, on my second use of the bag, the check valve broke off from the plastic bag... now to drive 30 minutes each way during lunch today to go get it replaced :(
