AG, your right. My supplier would not do that, nor would I.

As an aside, I don t buy S4S because they will treat the entire board, so you end up with a vastly thinner piece when milling a 8 to 10 board than I end up when I pre-cut then mill.

I just used 14 ft boards. None were remotely thinner. All same thickness.

Not really wanting to do this again. Was trying to offer a solution to the OP’s predicament of 2 pretty useless tools if he doesn’t have some help in some form. The tone of post didn’t sound like he wanted to spend more money.
