Straight Line Rips with TS 75/55

[mkasdin]

The only issue with side by side cutting and using the kerf blade to split the difference on the glue line is when you have a variance of heights between the two. Also it might be harder to clamp off both boards and keep them from moving. I think erock's method that is shown is more straight forward. I would think both would work and on sheet goods with equal heights it's a toss up. On dimensional lumber I would choose to stack and cut on a bookmarked cut?

Definitely true. You need to make sure the boards are flat and even. To solve he problem of clamping all that you need to do is have an extra inch on front and back of the board and screw it to MDF works great. I've made better than a joiner joint with this method.
