I am resawing some hardwood on table saw to make thin stock for small boxes. Stock is 6 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. I want to reduce it to 1/2" or 3/8 inch thickness. I am using 1 3/4 hp hybrid table saw. My initial resuts are so-so. I am using a featherboard to hold stock against fence, Freud rip saw blade and only removing 1 inch in each pass. I end up with shallow ridges resulting from multiple passes over rip saw blade. Perhaps I should only use featherboard for first pass because the featherboard is causing the sides to compres on subsequent passes?
I have seen articles in Shop Notes suggesting the use of sanding disk on table saw or a drum sander on drill press for thickness reduction. Anyone have experieince with these?
Suggestions re resawing on TS and poor mans thickness sanding much appreciated
