Mike,

I agree with your assessment of the situation. I have built several strippers
using nothing more than a circular saw, fence attached, to walk along the
boards while ripping the strips. Though I consider this as using the circular
saw as it was designed to be used, and not as a psuedo table saw, I must agree
that for the beginner and / or inexperienced power saw user it is best to use
the proven table saw method. This is not to say that a table saw is a safe
too, no power saw is.

Tom
