Thin stock is made on the table saw by double ripping the stock on edge, as in photos 1 and 2. The maximum width of stock you can achieve equals twice the maximum height of your blade above the table, which on most 10" saws is about 2-3/4", so 5- 1/2" is about the most. This kind of ripping is very demanding of your saw blade if you try to cut the full 2-3/4" in one pass, which I don't recommend. First set the blade at 1" high and double rip the stock as in photo 1, always putting the same.
