The source piece for the strips is the fit up against the block and you push it through the blade using the miter gauge. The strips fall safely to the side of the blade when the cut is finished. Return, repeat until you have enough or the source is to thin to be pushed with the miter gauge. I have used a hooked block to push the too thin source through to get most of the rest of the source.

Funny thing… I recently got started into turning segmented bowls and needed a way to rip some 30″ long 1/8″ wide strips. Came across this after an email to WWGOA! Just built that jig this afternoon – mine is 6″ wide and 42″ long. When coupled with a home brew magnetic feather board, it works super well to make the strips I need for my design rings!

Some jigs need to be sized according to the longest material that you plan to cut, but there are several options available that work well for cutting thin strips on longer stock. Two such options are covered in this article:

It would take a pretty long jig to accomplish that. Am I looking at this wrong?
