I've cut seven sets of quarter sawn mahogany for tenor sides on my band saw.
My target at was .080" thinking that I'd end up around .070" after removing the saw marks.
What I did not count on is that in some cases I had to remove .010" on each side.
Based on a comment from Pete awhile back, I think I'm OK at .060" but I have a couple that are down to .050".
So, the question is, should I use those or is it just too risky.
Blade used was a new CarterClassic Accuright 3 TPI, 3/4".
I may have tried to clean up the inside more than needed.
It didn't look any worse than my re-saw efforts for other projects the past.
Next time my re-saw target will be .090" - .095" to error on the heavy side. It's easy to take down with a scraper or spindle sander and fence.
Any input appreciated.
