Bill, in my quest to learn I have to ask a question. You seem to be saying one edge of the strips can be 5 degree beveled when ripping the strips. How is this possible?? When I make strips I rip 1/4" thick strips from a 3/4" thick board. To my understanding this would take 3 passes through the table saw - 1) to rip the 1/4" strip 2) bevel one edge 3) bevel the opposite edge. Not understanding how you rip the 1/4" strip and bevel one edge in a single pass????
Thank you
