Jeremias: Most machines will allow you to move the blade off of the centerline, but that creates the problem of unbalanced cutting forces skewing the cane in the bed. And if your blade gives you a 45 - 60 - 45 gouge single radius gouging, your side walls will now be thinner, so you will need a smaller radius blade...
In my earlier post to Jonathan I said, "The blade block carries a secondary block which is adjusted in the Y axis, the 'sidewall thickness adjustment." I meant to say, "The BEARING block carries a secondary block..."
The blade block is my name for the detachable blade/guide assembly block onto which the blade mounts. Sorry for the confusion.
Cooper, or any experienced double radius gouge person: Would you say .5mm smaller than the cane/bed size, or .75mm or even 1mm smaller is most typical or common in your experience?
