Cutting Thin Strips on the Table Saw

[83carp1]

Thers a better way. Gary Rogowski has a neat jig

[BradburyGuy]

The Micro Jig, Gripper will allow these cuts without moving the fence and without kick-back

[ardvarkkkkk1]

@BradburyGuy yes, the Gripper works great but if you don't have one, a push block can be shop made in a few minutes.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Thank you for the great video. I saw Woodcraft sells only one type of twist magents for $42.50. They are MagSwitch 30mm MagSquare magnets, but they look too big for what I need. Yours are smaller. Do you recall the size, price, manufacturer of your twist magents?

[InTheWorkshop]

@diymark actually I got mine at woodcraft, they are about 1 1/2 " across. have had then for so long i dont recall the price

Thank you for the video! and thank you Mr Kaufmann for the technique. This is very useful for aquaring thin strips for detailing purposes...

[andersonec1]

Instead of moving the fence for every cut, why don't you take the strip you have just cut and place it between the stock and fence and do this with every strip cut, that way the stock moves over the exact width of the strip just cut.

[hhddww]

Sounds good at first but it fails to take into consideration the width of the blade. Further, it would be extremely unsafe to be pushing the strips you've already cut, plus the current stock through the table saw. It would be way too cumbersome, be prone to kick-back (which is what this avoids), and would not lend itself to accuracy.

[CanineFaeces]

@andersonec1 After a bit a thought, that wouldn't work. The next strip would be minus the width of the saw blade.

Great vid. Thanks.

[camdenbuck]

Thank you Mr. Neil for posting such an informative video. I just picked up some tools and trying to get information on all of the safety issues as well as some tips. Your presentation has been very helpful.

[larrybud]

So much for using the push stick!

[InTheWorkshop]

got the magnets at woodcraft a couple yeas ago..alot of folks now carry them

[inohim]

Not familar with the twist magnets are that you were using. Can you tell me more about them? I like your guard contraption.

[emutiny]

top notch video man. excellent tutorial, clear instructions. I think amatuer woodworkers and diy'ers as well as professionals can understand your direction. Also 5 stars for citing your reference! Alright ill go rip some strips now!

[michaelait]

I have one in my shop. I got the idea from Mr. Kaufman as well. It works great. Thanks Mr. Kaufman and Mr. Neil.

[walikai]

I hate pulling the thin strip away from the blade.

[trumpetflowerII]

Thanks Charles,

the are few honourable people left in this world and it's nice to know the name of the person who originated this technique.

[r32adt3db]

i agree. that's great he gave original credit to the person that invented the technique.

[melonheed3]

[t44florida]

[pdschu]

[InTheWorkshop]

Sorry for the dealy in answering,I got them at woodcraft.

[outakontroll]

[Dave51262]
