In Response To: Strip: Notes on 7.25 inch saw blade (Steve Solomon)

Everything seems to have been examined thoroughly. The one thing that has made my strip cutting flawless is a shorter fence that ends around the middle of the blade. As simple as it seems, the logic is that I am not concerned with the thickness of dividing a board, I am only interested in peeling off a 1/4" strip. So there's no need to keep the board straight once it passes the blade. Anyhow, seems to work great even if my edge is not straight.

That's a Rigid saw which I like. 7 1/4 $8 blade. infeed with rollers and outfeed - a long board on horses. I like long strips and I usually get 16 fters.

You have to be careful with long wood because you can easily torque it with the slightest off-center push.

BTW: not trying to start another thread, but my research about table saws is that direct drive saws spin at a much higher rpm than belt driven saws. The new technology of motor making has made really powerful inexpensive motors. My Rigid is really powerful and the rpms never drop even on thick oak with my 10" blade.
