Building kitchen cabinets and I'm having real problems getting alot my 4 quarter stock milled flat to 3/4". This is mostly for the uppers which require longer stiles. 45" Not so much for the lowers since the stiles are much shorter and all the rails aren't very long either.
My problem is by the time I flatten the stock on the jointer I'm under 3/4". Not by much but still under. To be exact most of the stock is 23/32. I mill it till I can put it on my assembly table (which is a very flat torsion box) till I see no light. Am I expecting too much for that long of stock. I wouldn't think so but I'm not sure. I initially thought it was because I bought "shorts" lumber. But I went and paid for the regular stock and still getting the same problem. It's S3S stock. And no I can't get rough sawn. Well at least I haven't seen any locally. Thanks
