    Default Ripping small & narrow pieces on table saw

    G'day mates

    I had to rip a few small pieces for some router table aid/fixture and I would like to share with you the method.

    I'm using an Auxiliary fence clamped to the rip fence...now, when I'm saying Aux fence.... give me some good width say, 100~150 mm....you don't like to "drive" in congested areas, do you...

    Before clamping the aux fence, give it a pass through the blade just to make sure that its parallel and consistent in width.

    As you will see, I'm holding both hands on the trowel and that, doesn't leave too many hands or fingers to be used as a "Backer board" for the workpiece...saves a lot of money...

    Regards
    niki

    Yup, good for short bits but....

    While I was at my friend's place in Tassie last month, we had a half a day in his boat shed & I asked to help... he wanted 2 pieces of pine cut 10mm x 6mm x 4200mm for the canoe he was working on.
    Pics here.
    We did it on the Triton... it was a 2 man job, one on the in feed & one on the out feed.
    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Great work niki! I've just been considering how I'm going to cut a bunch of 15mm wide strips on the table saw.... and this is the first thread I saw while hovering over the search button

    Thank you so much mates

    I’m working now on another method that can be used with a normal sled just by adding some kind of small fixture….it’s in the “kitchen” now and when it will be “cooked” and “tasted”, I’ll post it…

    Thanks again
    niki
