Ok, in a post a month or so ago I picked out of another topic that people
rip with the useable piece to the left of the blade. This doesn't make
sense
to me. I have a $400 fence tweaked to be accurate, align the saw to death
so
there is no burning, machined a custom splitter and use magnetic hold
downs.
To rip multiple pieces of the same width I adjust the fence, and run the
piece until I have as many pieces as I need. To make more than one with
the
good piece on the left, I would have to move the fence each time and I
doubt
I could get the pieces critically accurate.
So... Which side of the fence do you rip on?

Only exceptions are" need thin strips (see the "can the bandsaw do this"
thread) or plywood that I need wider than my 30" capacity. I'll cut 11 7/8'
off a 48" piece to get 36"

Right about the accurate fence. Why screw around otherwise?
