As the recipient of not 1 but 2 kick backs (hey I’m a slow learner) way back when I first started woodworking I have qualms with thin strip cutting that puts the strip between the blade and the fence in this manner. I have allot of respect for Steve and his woodworking knowledge but frankly I wouldn’t even want to watch this jig being used.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I am pretty sure that one or more of the magazines (possibly Woodworkers Journal and or Shop Notes or Wooodsmith) covered the ripping of thin pieces years ago (close to 20) and they advised against this approach. I made one very similar to the Infinity one that John linked. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I set the jig to the left of the blade the appropriate distance at the front of the saw. Place the board against it and slide the fence over and lock it down. This way the board is clear by the time it enters the blade and is totally clear at the end of the cut. Slide fence and board over and repeat until I have enough thin strips or until the board I am cutting from gets to narrow. It works just fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Woodworkers [mailto:woodworkers-bounces@lists.sawdusters.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Steve Bigelow via Woodworkers<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, December 30, 2017 7:44 PM<br><b>To:</b> A place where woodworkers talk about woodworking<br><b>Cc:</b> Steve Bigelow<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Woodworkers] Projects and Happy New Years<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>The jig that John linked to is very similar to the one I made ages ago.
