I need to saw the spines off some books at work in order to feed the individual pages into a very fast scanner (with auto document feeder). These books are internal company documents bound together like a modern softcover book (ie. some kind of flexible glue holds the pages together, not thread or staples or fabric). For thinner books, I normally just use a utility knife and a ruler. But because of thickness and volume, I'm thinking about using my bandsaw. Has anyone ever tried? How about a table saw?
