Table Saw narrow rip

[SteveF]

I ran into a small issue today
Was trying to rip some timber down to 25mm strips
easy, or so I thought
my crown guard is about 40mm wide so only leaves 5mm max between guard and fence
not wide enough for push stick, yes I could make a thin one, but would not let me cut lets say 15mm
I overcame the issue as I had loads to do and only just over 12" long
so I followed each cut with another board (as a push stick)
is there and easier way \ trick ?

Can you not use a bandsaw?

Failing that, you can create a super thin push stick by having a thin 'bridge' that goes up and over the fence (if that makes any sense! Think of it like a Grrrripper that straddles the fence
