I have been playing some with my new mill cutting 1 1/8" boards. I had Accuset programed with the correct kerf for the blade that I am using. The mill started out cutting 1 1/8" thick. next day it was 1 3/16". Now it is cutting 1 1/4". What might be causing this?

Just occasionally?  Or every board?

I'd say a conversation with Sparks at Wood-Mizer would get you back on track quicker.

I've never had that happen.

2 cents from the uneducated... sounds like a reference point moving.

Does your bottom of low tooth to deck measurement still jive?

.....and have you ruled out the cant moving from stress, this throws board thicknesses all over the place (usually ends thinner and middles thicker).

Thanks for the advice. I will play more with it tomorrow.
