Using a push stick, a fence, and some common sense the BS is a smart choice.  Once you have stock that small cleaning up edges isn't going to work well on a jointer or planer due to length. It's a good job for hand planes, and a bench stop though. making and using a bench stop Or simply clamp down a stop (stick with one flat and true edge) to a worktable,and plane toward it. It's a great primer for using a hand plane if you haven't before, and as safe as you could get.

Steve, it never occurred to me to use a push block like that. Thanks.

I make my pen blanks on the band saw. I might rip smaller pieces from a large board on the TS, but I always finish up the blanks on the BS. Safer, and a lot more yield. I've been known to take exotic wood bowl blanks and turn them into pen blanks. Far more affordable than purchasing individual pen blanks, and so easy!

Carolyn. I have a pile of these, and never use them to clamp much. BS, and router piece holders. I have a few somewhere that I have screwed small wooden pads to the inside faces to act as a stop. Just don't saw or route the metal bars

I know some on here hate to hear it, but this sort of task is exactly what the GRR-RIPPER was designed to do.
It meets all of OSHA's requirements for cuts that require removing the blade guard, such as thin rips. And since it is used by riding the rip fence, and holds the part from above, so it can handle short parts. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss how it works, I do a lot of MicroJig's videos. Also, there s currently a $15.00 mail-in rebate on the GRR-RIPPER through March. Ralph

A GRR-RIPPER with the 1/8" leg and a Gravity Heel backing it up would do that quite well. You would need to cut down the 1/8" leg just a bit. I have one that is cut down to 1/16".
