I've just resawn some 7" wide cherry into 50" long veneer slices. My resawing technique was dicey and the slices vary in thickness a bit. I have a wide belt sander and have run them through a few times but am at the stage where the sandpaper on the drum is starting to contact the conveyor belt when I power up the unit. I still need to decrease the thickness of the slices a bit and wondered if there something else I can do. Thanks for your feedback.
