Squaring Stack Laminated Materials
Oct 25, 2005
Here’s a trick that makes it easy to square up a stack laminated block. When preparing the laminates, leave the bottom board slightly wider than the rest, with one long edge machined straight and square. During glue-up, have the squared edge proud of the rest of the stack, and then run this edge against the tablesaw rip fence to square the other side.
