I am building an Adirondack chair similar to the one found here. I have a table saw I am using to try to make some rip cuts on the 7 pieces for the back. I'm using 1x4 stock and want to make the piece just SLIGHTLY tapered so that they are narrower near the bottom and wider at the top to give the back of the chair a bit of a fan kind of look.
The problem is that the pieces are about 30" long and the table saw I'm using isn't deep enough to use the miter gauge. When I extend the miter gauge all the way toward me there's only about 20" of clearance between the gauge and the near side of the blade.
How can I make this rip cut with what I've got?
Thanks!
