: Not following your math at all. If you have a 4" cut height
: you can 4" wide strip minus the base of the jig regardless
: what angle your cut the scarf. Not practical to do that but you
: could.

: Radial arm would be preferable to me, but mine is against the wall
: and I can't cut knots of the middle of long strip or that is
: exactly what I would be using.

I still prefer using the bandsaw, just much safer. Resaw blade makes for much more stable scarf cutting as the blade won't deflect as easily, scary though with 3 or 4 teeth to the inch the blade keeps my attention :)
