Now that I have my two one-eighth-inch pieces ripped from the edges of my wood, the next step is to cut them into one-eighth-inch strips. The jig is already set
to one-eighth-inch (but always double check) so just bring the fence to the edge of the wood, tighten down and rip the strip. Move the fence over and you have another 1/8" strip. The wood rides on the bearings. These strips need to be extra-long to allow for the kerf (thickness of the blade) in the next step.
