Yes, I would love to trade my planer for a thickness sander when doing laminations.

Can I show you???....no, I cannot afford one of those. Can I listen to bowbuilders talk about grinding THIN (like 45 hundredths of an inch) laminations YOU BETCHA. There is a good reason that I order from the guys who do it.

Weekend before last as I was grinding down some big ole bamboo for a BBI on my friends 80 inch belt sander he ground a eight or nine skinny ( ranging from .064 to .110) tapers and parallels on his performax for a couple kids bow projects I have in mind. No tear out and baby but smooth and ready to glue. That is testimony enough for me. They are pricy...I just found a used older model for 850....
