what is safest way to rip 2" off a 20 inch wide and 50 inch long 2" heavy maple plank. 18" between fence and blade or 2" between fence and blade?

Surely the stop block on the crosscut is almost as bad as using the fence because the piece is still 'trapped' whichever method you use?? I have always been told to attach a small block on the fence that you use to index the cut, but which stops well before the blade begins the cut so that the wood to be cut is never pinched.

You probably won't see this cause your comment is 5 years old but he mentions this around 7:40.

what is the tool called that you used at 0:55? I have seen it before.

[@craighammes]

That is a machinist's dial indicator, used as a saw gauge: www.woodpeck.com/sawgauge.html

In a shop like yours there is absolutely no reason to crosscut that piece of wood on the table saw with the method you are using. A miter saw is a safer alternative. just as accurate and a ton faster. Long lengths and the initial trim cut is almost impossible with this method. I am a professional woodworker and never teach this to an employee, it just isn't worth the risk. I would use a sled to provide a tad safer way to crosscut if that is all you have, but that flimsy miter gauge I don't like...And I have had the SawStop for quite a few years, I orderd mine direct from Oregon and can attest to it being a well built sturdy, safe and accurate machine.
