Hello Friends! I've seen many, many ways to cut thin strips and I have tried most of them. This video combines techniques and a simple jig to do it in the safest way I know how. As a bonus, this set-up does not require you to keep moving your table saw fence and it doesn't require you to get your hands any where near the blade. Enjoy!
I could say: one more jig for cutting thin strip, but that one is different in the way safety is pretty good, and easy to do. So, I consider this method as number one!
Great idea and although not really necessary a second feather board on the outside feed of the blade would make it even better. And if a feather board is not available you can use a thin block of wood clamped to the fence which would serve the same purpose. Great video and very informative.
That's a really long spline. Yes, this will work on a longer piece as long as you have an out-feed table. It's easier if you start with boards that are 1 inch thick and 8 feet long. Then all you have to do is rip at 1/4".
Thanks, Eric, this is a good cost-effective way to make thin strips, IF your fence has that groove in it (mine doesn't). BTW, was that a black widow spider at 8:28?

Best jig so far. Thank you for sharing.

Great video. Thin strips are such a pain to cut and I can’t wait to try this method. Thanks Eric.
Nicely done Eric! I have used a similar setup in the past & it works great....👍👍😉😉
Thanks Steve! Yes, the feather board on the top makes all the difference.
I need 1/4 inch thick, one inch wide, 8 foot strips from hardboard. To make spline. Would this work on something that long?

Great set up! I wish my fence had a groove :(
Fence on my saw also does not have a groove. But I have made an auxiliary fence with a t track on it. I hope it helps!
Clamp should be ok?

Thanks David! Yes, I think that was a small Black Widow. We get quite a few of them in BC.
