Hi,

I've been ripping strips, western red cedar,oregon pine and a board of wengé (black hardwood) this weekend, but i had to re-set my saw due to a change of cutter 2/3rds of the way through, and made the (stupid ?) mistake of setting the thichkness after a ruler, and not after an existing strip.

Now it turns out the rest of the strips are about 0,5mm thicker than the first batch.

Should i re-rip these, or can i sand down (or in other ways remove the excessive thickness) when the strips has been glued to the forms ?

As a bonus question, should i drop the hardwood because it is too hard to sand down compared to the cedar (it is beautiful and was pretty expensive, but the shop had a board in just the right thickness, so i couldn't help buying it) ?

Regards

Jesper
