I want to make a couple of dozen OAK shim/wedges just like those
cheap pine packs you pick up for door shimming. These need to stay
hard, and bear with a little pounding. They will be disposable.
I have seen a device that worked with, or replaced a fence on a
table saw, and it had adjustable angles. For cutting larger
triangular pieces.

This is not a job for a table saw IMHO.
Rather you want either a hand power planer or a router with
a 1" straight bit.
Mount a piece of 1/2" x 6" x 24" ply to the router base with a
couple of 3/4" x 3/4" 6" cleats to limit lateral movement.
Build a "U" shaped shoe that has sloped sides to match desired
taper, say 8:1 or 12:1, and a flat bottom.
==============================================
Rest of info.
Clamp shoe in vice and part into shoe.
Cut taper then cross cut to length with a chop saw.
I used a power planer to make about 100 ,16:1 scarf's
in 5/8" x 1-1/2" x 24 ft splines which when glued together
made 72' long splines for a boat mold I built.
Have fun.
