   Zendo,

        Any way you can get the machine to complete the necessary operation safely, that's what you should do.  Fly with the eagles!

   Yes, that's why they're called 16/32 or 22/44.  Some of them are prone to leaving a slight peak down the middle of the board because of deflection.

   We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized.  I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

   is it normal or bad practice to flip the material and sand in 2 passes so that you can double the width going through the machine?

   Dumb here but why the open end then?

   EDIT;; Sort of funnin ya OK?

   Well I didnt know if you tight guys over here might say that those machines are for amatuers.

   Im a field guy and new to this silver spoon shop stuff.

   Last week I needed 1 drawer front for a current project. I brought the stick of cherry with me, and it was at his convenience.  A local cabinetmaker charged me $75 for a 14 inch, one piece front.  I stood there for the 20 minutes it took him to make it.    I was hoping to get a relationship going with him to pass business, but I dont think Ill go back.
