Do you have a lot of call for the 2/8" strips, Swingy?
-- When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary. -- Thomas Paine
If you have your push block pushing both sides of the part, how does it cut unequally?
I don't know, I t just does for me most of the time... I'm not an astro phiziestis,, phyesist, physesis,
Once parts start getting to thin between the fence and blade the push block does not have a lot of grab. YMMV
That's the method I use for thin strips, which is about 4 inches or less. My most recent application was a bunch of 1/8 inch roofing strips for some Lincoln Logs for the grand kids. I cut some scrap ply into strips a tad under 1-1/2 inches. then about 4 inches long for the end pieces. These are held on with a drywall screw, and can be turned over when really chewed up. Heck, for the truly frugal, the ends could even be trimmed and the end piece reused at least once.
Anyway, twobufour, twobusix, etc. make really cheap push sticks, and I never sweat cutting one up to the point of trashing it. Plenty of other scrap to make more. To fancy it up, drill a 3/8 in hole on top near the end and stick one of those shaker mug pegs in it for a handle. Really classes up the pushstick and impresses the ladies.
Now if I only had some JOAT yellow.......
