   As we were talking about it, @jezra I had a *zon cart open and got another pack.

   It is good stuff to get up to a mirror polish with metal.

     @jezra I use a band saw, planer, router, drum/belt sander, and drill press. (not in that order)

     After that it tends to become hand tools for me.

     @NYbill It is the burrless fret game. It is also a "I'm lazy" game, and I want to use power tools.
     
     Diatonic Dombra things require a silly amount of up/down the neck in order to get the correct note.

     @jezra Band saws and planers! so many variables to adjust! I just cross my fingers they don't go out of whack.

     @NYbill band saw... Band Saw.. BAND SAWWW!!!1 dagnabbit, my bandsaw is borked and will not cut straight. No amount of tuning has fixed the problem. It looks like I'll be trying to tune it again this evening. :/

     @jezra Start with a new, sharp, blade. Then its all tracking with the wheels and guides.

     I talk like I know. Its a PITA!

     But, a new sharp blade at least removes one variable. Then you're not tweaking the machine to compensate for dull blade drift.
