[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1526928, member: 18945"] You didn't say what kind of wood....hardwood or pine/spruce/fir etc or how long the strips need be.. I cut pine strips of that width often on my old table saw and a thin kerf general purpose (deep gullet) 24T blade. It's going to be a rip cut anyway so I wouldn't see any need using a 40T blade which is usually used for crosscuts. I have a radial arm saw, and guess what you are describing could be cut on one if the drive motor is rotated around parallel to the fence but I rarely do that with mine. There's so many things you can do with a table saw, and they've gotten very reasonable in cost nowadays I can't imagine not having one. DO, if you buy one, try to get as good a one as you can afford. There's some really cheap junk out there right now. (mine is a very old craftsman) You can do it with a skill saw as CF said, but the setup time will be more, and effort in clamping a fence down and making sure your fence doesn't bow out as you cut will have to be just right.
