      Rithwik Jallepalli I agree, bandsaws are much less intimidating than a table saw. I used a friend's band saw resaw some 1" boards to 1/2" and wasn't the least bit worried about the boards flying across the shop.

    I find the planer works best for me to make the inlay strips and the final thickness of the final piece. I get more consistent thickness of the inlay piece and when glued in place just run the whole board thru for the final thickness of the board. Perfectly flush inlay. That is............ if you have a planer. Thanks Steve. JimE

      @ When you try and raise the blade up, it will hit the bottom of the Zero clearance insert and push it up. You can use it if you cut all the way to the back of the zero clearance insert, but then you lose some stability, and pieces can potentially fall in, it's really up to you for your own preference.
