In Response To: radial arm for strip ripping? (Greg Root)

: Hi, Y'all-Has anyone out there used a radial arm saw to rip strips? I don't
: have a tablesaw nor room for one; I've also never ripped anything on the
: radial arm thinner than about 2", but it seems it could be done, at
: least in theory. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Spidey explained how he did it on his excellent web page
which you can reach at the site below
it has been an inspiration to me.

I have also done it sucessfully.
the key is to make sure you have a good featherboard set up
good luck
