Kerfing

Alright, I have a few question about kerfs if someone doesn't mind helping out.

1. How thin do you leave the wood in the slices? 1/8"?

2. How do you measure precisely with the curve?

Depends on the kind of wood and the thickness. Plywood has a lot more bend to it than mdf, and thus you can get away with thicker kerf cuts. Mdf on the other hand is brittle and requires smaller kerfs. Just take a piece of scrap and play with it to get the thickness right. 1/8" is a good starting point with 3/4" mdf though. Depth of the kerf cuts also play a major role as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
