Lump of RT
Just a few pics of cutting some veneers of rain tree from a reasonable size piece, because of the size I decided it would be best to make up a roller to help keep the piece on the fence, worked rather well too.

That's great! Is it sprung or fixed?

Hi Dale, the roller arm is sprung, if you look closely you will see one leg up against the bolt and the other up against the roller arm, there's 3 or 4? turns around the pivot (with red paint on it) it was a torsion spring out of something I pulled apart, might need that one day
The top arm is fixed and acts as a stop to prevent the roller arm from moving too far back into the path of the returning wood.
