I don’t like to run mine through the blade for the reasons Abbas have for thin ones. I prefer to use a thin one and push out against the fence. However, after looking at your picture, Paul, it seems to make a lot more sense when the “stick” is actually shaped like a sanding block. I could not cut anything 1/16 using my method. I think I’ll make a block just for thin strips.
