More details for cutting
Some people have asked for some more details on how to get the same cut dimensions and do it safely. I think these pics will show a bit more on how to do it.....
You have to take your sled and place it next to your blade. Take a scap piece of wood and place it between your fence and your blade.
Next, move your fence and scrap wood to get the thickness that you want. Once you are there, lock your fence in that position. Mine is set for 1/8".
Now take your scrap piece of wood and move it backwards so that it is not next to your blade. This will allow you to make cuts and not pinch the cutoff piece between the blade and the fence. Make sure you clamp your scrap wood to the fence so that you get accurate cuts each time.
Take your material and push it against your scrap wood on your fence and clamp it in position. This will give you the 1/8" cutoff that you are looking for each time and the cutoff will fall next to the blade rather than becoming a projectile. You can continue to cut and the pieces will stack up between the blade and the fence area. MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF YOUR BLADE BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT REACHING TO RETRIEVE ANY PIECES!!!
A zero clearance insert is a must to prevent your pieces from falling through the opening.
Hopefully this clarifies an easy and safe way to cut these small segments. Key is keeping your fingers away from the saw blade and not pinching the cutoffs causing projectiles......
Good luck and be careful!!!
