Rob:
How do you cut a zero-clearance throat plate with a riving knife added to the saw? (Do you do this by hand?)

Yes.

i see that you don't use:
a) outfeed table
How do you control a longer (even 8') board when it is hanging off the end of the table near the end of a rip cut? It must need a lot of downward pressure on the board. (Or do you use (always tippy) rollers off the end of the saw?)

I use a combination of roller stands, flat top stands and catch table for cutting strips.

b)ripping fence
Without a (partial length) ripping fence, you are inviting kickbacks. Will your riving knife reliably catch a 3/16" strip?

I don't use an auxiliary ripping fence on my saw. The featherboard placed on top of the blade prevents kickback and holds each strip as the cut is completed allowing me to reach behind my small portable saw and pull out the strip from the featherboard. If I were to use a large cabinet saw to cut strips I would use a short auxiliary rip fence to allow me to pull the strip free from the hold of the featherboard.

The featherboard is also used to hold strips down while milling a 3˚ bevel on strip edges.

More details are given in my instruction book.
