@peethreeorion Жыл бұрын

Pretty much the same as I use for cutting thin strips in my own shop. Once you've done it the first time, you can use the kerf you cut to set up your saw the next time: just slip the kerf over the blade, and bring the fence up to meet it. If you use a thicker piece for your jig (mine is a piece of 2x6) you can put different kerfs in each of the four edges, set for ripping different thicknesses of strips. Best of all, it's so easy to make that if it gets damaged (the thinnest one tends to get broken off bumping around my shop) it takes almost no time to make another.

This is the first time I am seeing you and I am impressed with you as a woodworker. The zero clearance tip with the blue tape (and / or Fastcap tape), is worth the price of admission. I do a lot of delicate work in wood, and often have to find creative ways to cut small components with my tools. Last week I needed seven hundred 3/16" strips of wood, and used a similar method with a dedicated zero clearance cover, instead of the tape. The thing I did differently was to use a "micro kerf" blade, which is 1/16" thick. Having such a small kerf allows me to get a higher yield of material. I look forward to watching more of your KZfaq channel. Thank you again for your valued instruction!

One thing these tiny strips are used for is the patterned ring around the sound hole of a classical guitar. They carefully assemble them into a bundle of repeating color sequences. They glue it, then take a slice of the bundle. Now you have like 50 of them all the same. Depends how long the strips are.

I've often used the method you described previously for making exact blade-width splines, and I've always ended up with the far end of the spline tapered such that it was not useful (you just explained why). I would have to cut 2x the material I needed to get enough splines for the project. I think this method might be better, yes you would have to fiddle a bit on scraps to get the width perfect but once that is set, you can crank out lots of splines without as much waste.

I'm the first time on your channel. Thanks for making and sharing the video. It's very helpful. For making thin strips I've never used the first method (moving the fence). It's just too time consuming and even not very accurate when you are making really thin stripes. The second method I used, but only for some test runs. It worked for me, but I never controlled if the thickness of all the thin strips were the same over the whole length. I've some projects in mind for the winter month in which I need thin strips. For sure I'm going to try "your" method.
