Lip Slot Blues

[ruhroh]

Playing cards do work well. I rip them down to size so I get like 4 or 5 lips per card. My blade is like 14 teeth per inch and cuts perfect size slots. Bring a lip to your nearest store and measure it up. Also, use a fence on the deck of your bandsaw and you can slide the plug in block form and get a nice slot every time.

I use a fine/scroll saw blade on the bandsaw. Its a perfect width cut for the lips we all use. I believe it is 14tooth

32 tooth per inch hacksaw blade...lips slip in snug just like a trojan.
