Final sizing, sawing and planing

I took my time over this, I'm sure experienced woodworkers and joiners would have no problem but I'm learning as I go along.


Some of the Sash pieces had bowed, fortunately I'd left enough on to correct this. After setting the saw up really accurately ( as mentioned before it didn't come out of the box accurate) I set to work sawing to within about 3mm of the finished sizes. The bowed ones I screwed at the ends on the convex side to a straight piece that then slid along fence.


Then it was down to planing. I need these really accurate so I could get all the joints bang on without having to make little adjustments to suit.


With the thicknesser I recon the average tolerance is about +/- 0.2mm
