Seems to be some argument for the best way of cutting lots of 3/4" x 1/4" strips. If one wanted to take 10ft or 12ft length boards and rips lots of 1/4" strips I would think that a band saw would be best for maximizing your wood. I would think it would be safer than a table saw as well. However, some argue that the cuts you get from a band saw are rougher. Either way, I would plan on running the strips through a planer once cut so that they are all the same thickness. What do you guys think...a table saw with a thin kerf blade, or a band saw for ripping lots of strips?
