I usually skip this topic since it frequently boils down to machine setup, cutter quality and method. I just made a rip cut in pecan that had to be pretty close to the finished dimension. It came out pretty well so I thought I'd share.

When doing this I use a feather board to handle the pressure against the fence and push blocks to control the smoothness of the feed. At any rate, this is with a 24 tooth, TCG, 10" blade from Carbide Processors.
