The only thing I don't get is - if the whole point of using a bandsaw is to have less waste, and you have to mill the strips to achieve uniform thickness and a smooth surface, have you really saved anywood in the end. The strips I have cut on my table saw using the "incra fence" are uniform and smooth using an 1/8" kerf blade. In the end, whatever gets it done though.
