slachammer Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I started milling my case panels. 2 of the panels had just enough bow/unevenness? where I had to plane them down to 11/16, so I had to mill all the panels to 11/16th. That will not be too thin will it, strength wise? I'm using Red Oak at 8+ inches wide (2 boards) eventually cut down to the 15 1/2 inch height I used a 6 inch jointer and then marc's method on the thickness planer , using a known flat panel (mdf) to get the board to go thru the thickness planer properly.

TRBaker Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 11/16ths shouldn't be a problem at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKeast Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Remember to take into account the decreased thickness of the parts in any future steps/measurements that might incorporate a 3/4" thickness in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slachammer Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah , might have to do the dado for bottom at 5/16th deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
