Making Thin Stock

Whatever process you choose for getting thin stock, consider taking your result to a cabinet shop with a wide belt sander for the final thicknessing process. Wide belt sanders are industrial grade machines, technically referred to as abrasive planers. They work very fast and effectively to bring stock to a consistent thickness with an excellent surface finish. They only cost from $5-10,000 though, which is good for you in one critical respect. Cabinet shops that buy these machines must rent out time on them to other woodworkers to pay for the machine, so they welcome your business. They’ll charge about. | Making Thin Stock oodworking project plans often call for stock that is thinner than the hicknesses of lumber available in hardwood stores. Surfaced 1x lumber comes out to 3 4 thick or perhaps a little more and this is the thinnest commonly available. There are mail order companies that sell thicknesses down to 1 4 and less but this tends to e expensive. So what can you do to get hin stock There are numerous things you can do find a local cabinet shop that is willing to occasionally plane down some stock for you and perhaps do some resaw use your table saw to rip thin pieces use your table saw and band saw in tandem or use a jointer band saw and planer to do the work. The last solution is the one of choice if you have the machines. But many people don t and that is why one alternative is to find a shop that will help you out. If you can find such a shop it may turn out to be very easy for you to show up now and then with a few boards and quickly have them planed down so it s worth the effort to investigate by calling around. But keep the following in mind. These shops will be busy and it is not worth their while to disturb their normal flow of materials for the sake of a small job like this. But if you find a convenient time for them say right at closing time or on the weekend when someone is puttering around they may be more than willing to help. Secondly don t debate the price they ask for the work any way you look at it they aren t going to profit from planing a few small sticks for you. If it costs too much don t come back. One other thing you can do to make it easier for them is to prepare the stock as much as you can before you bring it in so that they have a minimum number of steps to perform on the lumber. If all they have to do is plane 5 pieces from 3 4 to 3 8 it is a lot easier for them than if you ask them to joint rip resaw then plane. If your stock is thick you may need to ask them to do all those steps because it is senseless to plane thick stock way
