Hello there,
Can I use my 10” table saw to make veneer, as I don’t have band saw?

Thank you

Sure. For that matter, you can use a handsaw. That’s what I do.

thanks Eric,
But I am afraid I didn’t ask my Q in the right way!
I mean can I slice veneering from Hard wood using my table saw instead of band saw?

You can.. but remember how thick the kerf of the table saw blade is. You get more waste on the table saw. Also, you are limited to less than half the width of your table saw. You may get veneers that are only 4 to 4.5 inches wide with a 10 inch blade. Lastly, remember to leave enough wood for sanding to get your veneers smooth by sanding later

If you are planning to make veneer from 4/4 stock you’ll find
it challenging to get more than 3 leaves from each board
with a table saw. With a band saw you can get 4 or more
so you can do fancier bookmatching.

In a pinch though the table saw is fine. I use it for resawing
often, even though I have a couple of nice band saws. The
reason – the bandsaws are usually a little tweaky and the blades
less sharp than is ideal for sawing veneers. You’ll generally
want to use a new blade for resawing on the bandsaw – plus
fiddle with the saw to make sure the cut goes smoothly.
