Thank you, cheers mate.

The camera is way too far away, cannot see with detail what you're doing!

I just set the fence to thickness and rip the strips. Nothing to move and fast.

That kind of thin cutting is easy on a Martin sliding table saw with the rip fence pulled back behind the blade as measure for the cut thickness and then two eccentric lock handles to hold the work piece in place while cutting the narrow strips.

Nice and clear informative video, liked it. I'll be trying to make a similar jig for my table saw. Thanks
I use my thicknesser with a wooden bed, this enables the machine's blades to go as low as i want and if they touch the wooden bed they just put a grove in it. with this wooden bed i can plane wood down to 1mm.

Yes, that's a good way, provided that yo can support thr timber. The risk is that strips that thin can shatter in a thicknesser. But yes it's a good way and I have a similar bed myself for work below 10mm, although I've never gone down to 1mm!
However, if you are preparing stock for lamination, you want to remove as little timber as possible, not just because of waste, but for grain preservation too, so I think a clean cut with a thin kerf blade is a better option in that case.

Lucky you don't have to machine hundreds of lippings, you would be there all week.
Also notice you start the machine up with the timber right close to the blade, not very wise.

It's actually quite quick once you are set up, and no, I don't have to machine hundreds anyway.
The timber is well clear of the blade when I start up, held in place by the featherboard, so that I don't run the risk of pushing the featherboard too far forward as I start the cut.
Cheers
