OOOooooooh thanks for this!

I'll definitely look into and try all this. So it looks like I need to thin the sides even more.

Yeah, your last warning is exactly why I'm asking the question! Right now, centering is done by backlighting the bed with no cane and then measuring the shavings, once the cane is almost fully gouged.

My blade can be moved for a sideways offset. But there are so many screws and bolts on that thing (including centering the bed with respect to the plane, tilt, yaw and roll) that I surmized it was just another way to ensure blade centering. It looks like 3/4 machines pictured at RDG, oboe-shop.com and every other place this forum has mentioned.

A real headache to adjust that thing. But from what I've read, new machines are not much easier, so I'll keep the 1.5k$ for something else.

Thanks again for all that insight! I'll put it into practice in the next few weeks.
