Was resawing some 4/4 beech that I joined and planed smooth both sides. I wanted to split it down the center then plane the cut side smooth. Idea is to get two from one at max. thickness. Oh, these were 7" tall and 82" long. I have a Griz G0513X2 with a Resaw King blade and Driftmaster fence. I checked blade drift,tension, and double checked the upper/lower rollers.
I calculated half the thickness of the board and added half the thickness of the band (at the back - no teeth) then used a digital depth gauge to dial in the fence - trying not to push on the blade. When I made the cut the piece toward the fence was too wide. It was scary consistent and clean. I had a few boards to cut so adjusted the fence a little more. This time I used a dial indicator and moved the fence toward the blade. I found I had to move it about 0.020" to 0.030" to get it centered.
Guess my question is how do you set the fence for cut thickness?
