Default Can you think of a safer way to cut a tiny piece of wood on a table saw?

This whole setup gave me the willies. How did I get by all these
years of woodworking without a RAS? I noticed the sliding bed racked
a little as it was pushed into the blade. Having both hands on the
sled puts his body directly in front of a spinning blade without much
of a safety cover. It would be safer on a table saw with a
zero-clearance throat plate. A bandsaw, like another already stated,
is right tool for small pieces. One technique is to take two pencils
with erasers and maneuver a small piece over the bandsaw table into
the blade.


I remember this thread from a few weeks back and I was confused then also.
What are you trying to get to?
I am not being a jerk but I am confused as to what you are doing. In the
video you took a 3/4 piece of ply and cut it in half. So if I am correct
you created a jig than can produce little pieces of 3/8 plywood. I thought
the initial issue was to take a 5" x 5" piece of ply and make it 4" x 4".
Could you enlighten me?
