This is why I really like the Bandsaw for the rips but the Bandsaw just is not accurate enough for the 1/8 blanks they have to be sanded down too perfect, matching size
Cutting a 14x2 x 1/8 will give the same piece but no bookends, access to 3x24x1/8 is as simple as contacting Bellforest but it doesn't give me Bookends :( yes I admit to being picky but it is the little things that count...
