You lost me. This is about width, not thickness. I need to get
accurate and consistent results, which cannot be done with the tools
you are referring to. Upon visual inspection, each strip must be the
same width. With your way there is no way to be accurate throughout
the length of the cut, or from one strip to the next. And your strips
would also be deformed at the edges along their length.

As for slotting metal and plastic, you will need controlled-diameter
saw blades of known widths: horizontal mill saw blades of
this type are available from machinery suppliers, and that, rather
than woodwork-type saw blades, will be your best source
of standardized parts to build your production machine.

I'm not attempting to slot metal. Just wood and possibly plastic.

Thanks.
