In Response To: Strip: Saw setup update/clarification (Steve Solomon)

Nick, thanks for the info on how to create a profile! Here's the setup I ended up using:

There's a simple strip of plywood clamped to the fence to act as a guide, with a larger block at the front to serve as a guard. I made a simple push block and nailed some spare strip to it act as a strip ejector - it's one piece so they'd both be handy. I had to replace the strip ejector a few times as it got chewed up.

I have a simple roller mechanism that I made sitting on a cart level with the saw as an outfeed. I just picked up a couple of 16-footers (turns out my local lumberyard delivers) so I expect I'll need some better strip-handling to manage that. For in-feed support, my basement is unfinished so I just clamped a 2x4 to a joist and screwed a cross-arm to it level with the saw.
