UHMW Cut

I would like to cut with my table saw 1” wide strips from a 4”x 24”x 3/8” piece of UHMW material.

The cut must be accurate.

My concern is that since this material is slippery it may slip from my push stick. Also I don’t know how clean the cut will be from the saw blade.

Anyone with experience on this material?

How about if I put in my scroll saw a fence and use it instead of the table saw to do my cuts? I do have blades for plastic.

Cutting strips use feather boards, two on the table pushing against the fence and one or two on the fence holding it to the top. That would be my first try anyway.

HI Guys

Once cut on the table saw/band saw use a cabinet scrapers, they will come out very smooth and clean ..:)
To make it a bit quicker and essayer clamp the scraper in the work bench vise..
