Newbie here. Probably a dumb question, but I'd rather ask a dumb question than lose a finger. I have a standard-issue BT3100 with board-buddy and feather board.
What is the best way to rip wood into 2 3/4" strips ?
Should the 2 3/4" strip exit the table saw between the blade and the rip fence?
I've seen some other tutorials where the strip to be kept is on the other side of the blade using a feather board. Although that way looks like a pain as the fence needs to keep being reset for each cut. I've also seen the board get lifted up halfway through the cut, reversed and finished.
If I am okay doing a standard rip cut for this width of strip...at what thickness do some of these thin cut techniques need to start being used?
THANKS!!
