Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] How Would You Design question

Afraid for what I am scheming the radial type blade is a requirement. While
a "plane" arrangement could be made to yield material that was the proper
thickness the planning action tends to damage the structure of the wood and
does not yield the proper surface finish.

It is true that for this type of resawing operation a bandsaw is more
common. After bandsawing the resulting sheets require sanding or planning to
eliminate the band saw marks. Both of these operation will not yield the
correct finish or properties. The circular type blade is the only way to go
for this specific application.
