Most folks that I know that do jigsaw puzzles use a product called triple thick glaze from krylon.  Yes spray it and let it cure prior to cutting.  You can also use a product called mod podge, or shellac.

Sounds like either you are forcing your work, or the blade is not square to the table to start?  Have you checked the blade for square to the table?  Perhaps go up one blade size and slow down your feed rate a bit.  The blade for sure is flexing for some reason.

I did chuckle and I happened to notice the gal next to me had a big grin on her face.  I was laughing uncontrollably inside though.  Yours is funny as well..

You may want to check it for cracks, along the tube you can cover the end and spritz some soapy water and see if you get any bubbles.  Lay a cloth under it first...

The special puzzle blade is designed to be used for jigsaw puzzles, typically 1/4" or less in thickness.  What is being discussed here are standup puzzles typically 3/4' thick or more.  The puzzle blades will not handle that thickness.
Hope that helps clarify it for you.

If it is indoor application I'd use titebond 11, if outdoors I'd use lll.  I'd place the ply together cross grain if it's square.  The interior plys should already be cross grain to begin with.  You should be fine.  A thin coat of glue and use cauls and lots of clamps.  Let ti cure for at least 24 hours prior to removing clamps.
This time of year no guarantees though on warping since most of us work in garages or basements..

People watching was the highlight of the day.  The funniest exchange between a husband and wife was near my booth.

Envision a rather tall, well dressed man in his mid 70's.  Clean shaven and the only peculiar thing is he is wearing golfing shorts.  Now you have to remember it is 12? outside with about 8-10 inches of snow on the ground with a breeze making it even colder.

The gentleman is standing about 15 feet from my both hands in pockets and leans over and says something indiscernible into his wife's ear.  All of a sudden with great disdain she takes a step back and smacks him on the shoulder with her walking stick and said.   "Dammit I'm not leaving, I told you to wear long pants!!"  "Now you can just go sit in the car and wait!"
