Yesterday I bought some nice slabs at the show. They will mostly be turned into veneers.
My band saw will cut 355 mm deep ... but my thicknesser/jointer has a max width of 260 mm.
So, if I want to utilise the full depth of cut of the saw, I need to find another way of thicknessing these slabs because I need a nice flat reference surface to run against the fence.
The idea I came up with was to use a hot melt glue gun or similar to adhere the 355 mm wide slab section to an MDF platern. The MDF should give me a nice flat reference surface. Then I would pass the section, glued to the MDF, through the drum sander several times slowly flattening the surface opposite the MDF. Once it was nice and flat, I should be able to get it over the saw and cut those nice wide 355 mm veneers.
How is my thinking? Is hot melt glue likely to do the job? Is there a better way?
Thanks,
John
