Good day
I had to cut a few strips of ¼” so I made this simple set-up.
This set-up gives me:
*Safety – fingers far from the blade.
*I don’t have to move the fence after every cut (very consistent strip thickness).
*I can cut strips from strips, I mean, I can cut 5/8” strip into two ¼” strips (1/8” blade).
I used 6” wide board but you can use any width, just make it round number so it will be easy to add the numbers to set the fence distance.
I strongly recommend the use of splitter or riving knife.
After every cut, I stop the saw and when the blade stops, I pull the jig back or, push it to clear the blade, go to the other side and bring it back to the starting point. I prefer to waste a few seconds than a few fingers.
I think that the same set-up will work also for se-sawing but I did not try it yet.
I believe that you will think about some improvements, and you will tell us all.
