In Response To: Material: Strips into thickness planner? (Paul Lueders)

Hi
I've done it several ways, cutting with a band saw, a table saw and doing a couple of boats using the thickness planner. My preference is cutting with a table saw then running through the thickness planner. The saw is accurate enough but I don't like sanding and the planner cuts down on the amount I have to do. Each way does work though so it does come down to preference.
good luck
don
: Is it worth whiled cutting your strips a +1/4" and running them through
: a thickness planner on both sides before putting on bead/cove? This would
: give you strips that were all perfectly the same thickness,(which would
: give you perfect bead/cove), and would also give a very smooth surface
: left to sand. Overkill?
