Hello,
I cut out and routed three pet urns this past weekend, in three different wood species, white oak, cherry and walnut. All boards were planed down to the same thickness last weekend. I have made two previously in red oak and cherry. The mitered joints are like tight and flush. When glued together, you can barely see the joint.
The three I did this past weekend, I used a miter sled, rather than a miter gauge that I used on the first two. I use the kerf to line up the cut with just a little over to make sure there's not a blunt edge on the miter.
The cherry urn has a tight, flush joint, the white oak and walnut have about a visible gap, I'm estimating 1/16". All were made in one run with no change in blade alignment and all in probably less than 10 minutes.
I don't get it. Blade getting dull, difference in wood species? Brand new Freud thin kerf 50 tooth combination blade used on all five.
The white oak and walnut urns going to the scrap bin.
TIA
