In Response To: Material: Strips into thickness planner? (Paul Lueders)

I was waiting on someone else to answer this but I will take a stab. Yes, I think it's a waste of wood unless you just can not cut a decent strip. I am an avid woodworker and build some furniture. I can rip very consistent widths on the table saw no problem. Besides your going to to have to sand the edges down anyway so if they are not perfect it isn't going to matter as long as they are close.

Now if the only way you have to cut strips leaves then inconsistent width, maybe. But you should be able to cut them pretty darn close without planning.
