Oscar, et. al.,I did roughly the same thing but used a 1/4" piece of plywood.I did not make it a "miter box" like the one Del built. My $150 SEARS (yes,it's somewhat junky) table saw has a slight gap under the fence and I foundI could wedge a 1/4" sheet under it and the fence would hold it when clampeddown. So I just had a scrap piece, about 10" x 10", laid it on the saw,positioned the fence, and ran the running saw up through the plywood. Thisis how it works for the "zero tolerance" inserts that more expensive sawshave. With the support right up against the blade, I was able to rip 1/4"capstrips very nicely with this.Robert HainesMurphysboro, Illinois
