On the left is a 10" wide piece of walnut that I face jointed. On the right is a veneer slice from the same board manually cut with a Woodmaster CT 1" x 1.3 tpi on my 17" BS.
I know several of you get tired of me saying this but I well anyway. Blade tension was about 25 ksi. Deviation in the veneer thickness was less than 0.005" over the 4' length.
Some folks favor the Tri-Master, but I just can't believe the cut quality can be much better than the CT and the CT costs about $75 less. Maybe the Tri-Master lasts longer since it has more teeth, reducing the difference in $/ft^2 cut; don't know.
