On my first boat I cut ¼" strips holding them by hand on my table saw with a cabinet makers blade. The strips were rough and varied in thickness. Now I am cutting these strips down to 3/16".The setup you see in the picture is mostly Rob Mack’s and boy does it work. I used a small kerf saw blade,,,I made a wood insert with no slot clearance so the strips wouldn’t be sucked down into the saw, and a seperation nail in back of the blade in the insert to keep the wood from curling together,,,the two feathering boards do all of the holding for you and all you do is push,,,and a clearance slot at the end of the wood fence to allow the wood to curl away from the blade to the right. The improvement is like night and day for safety, smoothness of the cut and accuracy. I cut down eight strips yesterday and micrometered them all at the ends and middles. They all came out .193 thousands of an inch. Really unbelievable. Most of the veteran builders use this system but for the new guys it might be worth your while to build this type of setup.
