Glad I found this thread.
I am trying to make a Christmas Star. I need slates ~1/2" to ~3/4" wide, varying lengths 4" up to 12" long with thin 1/4" finished wood. The actual dimensions don't really matter and can vary.
My problem is that I have planks that is too wide at 1 1/2". I have a very old table saw from my Great Uncle (probably made ~ 1925). The fence is OK but trying to rip a thin 1/4" thick board that is only 1 1/2" wide with a fair amount of precision is proving difficult. Heck the saw blade is 1/8 " wide.
What tool should I use? Do I need to buy a new table saw? Probably. Saber saw? Dremel saw? Or should I use Sharks with Lasers.
Is there a finished 1/2- 3/4" wide wood stock available?
