Default Re: Straight edge cuts

That's what i have been doing. Then i powersand them at 90D to get the burs and lines straight. this means i must always leave at least 1 edge factory straight which results in wasted material and a lot of time.

Given how many steps there are and how long it takes, i considered i might be doing something wrong. I use clamps and a piece of alum bar as a guide and slide across it as i cut. Setup is a nightmare though. I wish there was a XY or even X table for bandsaws like the proxxon stuff for drills.
