Cutting strips is not particularly demanding. It does require the saw run for a long time. The motor might heat up, but should work. Make a good, long extension table for it to make the wood run straight and don't try to force the wood through the blade. A thin kerf blade will reduce the drag on the saw and save wood.

You will probably want a better saw some day, but no one will know what kind of saw you used by looking at your finished boat.

: sale. Its a Delta Bench top but came with a stand.It cost $99.00. I know
: this is cheap and I know you get what you pay for but, it was cheap and I
: can use it to build shelves if nothing else.( my wife got it for me for an
: early christmas present).Does anyone foresee any problems using it to cut
: strips.
: 2) I know its been asked a million times but whats a good thin kerf blade to
: purchase. I think I remember someone mentioning a decent one from Home
: Depot or Lowes.
: 3) We will be replacing our deck after the first of the year and I will have
: approximately twenty 2x5x15' cedar boards from the floor alone not sure of
: the size of the frame pieces. These boards are almost thirty years old and
