Actually for ripping strips, a good setup would be to make a 2' long fence (piece of wood) attached to the fence. Have it end just behind the blade. You won't get any binding at the exit of the strip. Basically all you want to do is peel off strip on the surface edge like a band saw. With a good tight feather board just in front of the blade, you could almost operate blind folded. Make sure you feed and exit rollers or table are the right height so the board doesn't drop and bow up the cutting area. I really like a downward feather for that. Just another thought if you still have problems. Ripping strips is a drag.
