Default 8' long rip on TS

The concept seemed simple enough, and it didn't occur to me that I had never
tried cutting anything this long before. I have to cut some 8' sheets of
plywood the long way on the TS.


Get/make outfeed support for both the cut and offcut. Infeed support is
good as well.

Hold the plywood at the back left corner. I like to have one hand on
the back and one on the left side. Start the cut, applying pressure
towards the front right corner to keep the board against the fence.
Once you get fast the first few feet, move directly behind the sheet and
push it through.
