I am needing to rip 8' long 3/4" x 10" wide popular into 3/4" x 2" x 8'.
I have a rip blade, tuned BT3100 (cuts straight etc) but I will add temp in-feed and out-feed supports. I'm looking for help from the experienced on setup and method to maximize my ability to get the best cut possible (basically keeping the work piece against the fence and achieving a constant feed of the wood thru the blade)
I have, as well, a feather board to work against the fence and a second from the top down (never used and will need to make a mount). Should I have the finish piece (2" ) between the blade and the fence? or have a setup that has the finished piece as the off piece? Also I'm RH'd but typically work from the left side of the blade pushing material. Should I put the fence on the left side instead, so I'm not working over the blade as well.
Regards
