    it was suposed to be a 28mm slab. one of the chocks came out from under one of the end frames. making the rails unparallel causing the bar to twist as it cut.
    realized half way took it back and fixed rail and recut to take out the damage.

    Great looking job Carl

    Why were the slabs cut so thin? By the time they are dry and finished they will be lucky if they are 20mm thick
