I routinely need to mill pieces 1/8" thick and many times even thinner. I have read numerous articles and tried numerous things all with varying degrees of crappy results.
I have tried using a carrier board for my Dewalt DW735 planer. It usually shreds the boards even at 1/8 thick. My blades were just sharpened and I have tried both speeds.
I have tried cutting the strips on a bandsaw a hair over thickness, then hand planing. Besides being a major chore, these are very hard to keep down on the bench. I have tried using double stick tape. However that is very hard to remove from a thin strip without breaking it.
Has anyone been able to get a similar planer to work with pieces this thin?
If not, what other options are there?
Thanks!
