    So the knob was a red herring, but you really need to find out why the kickback occurred so you can avoid it in the future. Maybe the board had a high spot in it and maybe the rollers also needed...

    If this isn't an heirloom you're building, and the stiffness of the panel isn't an issue, I'd use quarter inch oak plywood. You'll eventually use most of the rest of the sheet, for backs of curio...

    You can use almost any kind of foam material. Just trim it to fit. It doesn't need to fill the grooves full length. The strip insulation sold to homeowners for doors and windows works. Don't...

    Bandsaw blade manufacturers will custom-make blades to the length you need, and the premium isn't extortionate.
    However, if you haven't used a bandsaw before, you might want to get a book that...

    Yeah, Mike, I just went down to my shop and looked at my dado set and the blades do have a negative hook. They're probably all made that way - it makes sense. That would alleviated my concern on the...

    I don't know if you can get a dado set with negative hook angles, but if not it could be hard to control on a "crosscut" dado unless you took multiple light cuts.

    There's no difference in the performance of the bandsaw. They might last longer than rubber, but rubber will last a long time. I wouldn't change tires unless there's something wrong with the ones on...
