By Chris Black
Wood News author, Chris Black, was recently demonstrating hand tool joinery at a tool show, when a gentleman commented that he was "cheating" on his dovetail-making. After Chris tried to explain his shortcut, he realized that he had been caught by the "woodworking police." CLICK HERE to find out more about the "Woodworking Police": WOOD SLICER Testimonial 
I recently purchased a 3/4 inch Wood Slicer blade. It certainly is everything you claimed it to be. My 18 inch bandsaw always frustrated me. I was never sure if it was the blade, the fence, or the guides. The saw now performs as it should, at a much lower decibel than before. The blade set-up instructions are informative and well written in layman's terms. Thank you for a quality product. — Dennis
