<DIV>Hello all;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a friend who builds model ships and I cut planking for him at 1/16”
thickness from 4 ft. pine boards using a vacuum fence. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As the strip exits the saw blade the vacuum fence keeps the strip tight to
the fence and there is no chatter and the finished strip can sit between the
blade and fence with the blade spinning and not kick back.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I then stack up about 10 of these thin strips with short pieces of double
sided tape between the strips at each end to keep the strips at the ends of the
stack tight together. The middle portion of the stack is secured with
wraps of clear packaging tape at about 12” centers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In this way I can produce 1/16” x 5/16” strips with no problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please get back to me if anyone wants a description of how to build a
vacuum fence.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards;</DIV>

jig for cutting thin strips on my table saw is very basic, but when used with
a push stick works for me. I use a piece of wood with parallel edges and
a cleat tacked to the bottom so that it projects out ~1 inch. Put the
jig between the fence and blade. Set the gap to the width desired.
Set your board along side the jig so that it rests on the cleat and push
through the blade. Use a push stick to hold the board to the side of the
jig.</DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: comic sans ms,sans-serif; COLOR: #000066">If
you need longer strips set up an auxiliary "L" fence that ends at the front
edge of the blade. Clamp it to the fence and push stock through
finishing with a push block. You will need an outfeed roller or support
to catch the board and strip.</DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
