Spline cuts

I use a Tenryu rip blade. New (not yet sharpened), it yields an exact 1/8” kerf.
I use a thin kerf rip blade but, not for splines.
How do you mill your spline stock?

I’m curious about this too. I used my freud glue-line rip blade, but the cut is slightly rounded in the bottom (top of the blade), so I would imagine there is a better choice?

I rip the spline stock on the table saw a little over size and run it through the planer. Would the outside blade of my dado set cut the spline square at the bottom? I made a good spline jig.

Yes! I use my dado blade… one of the end ones.

Depending on what I’m doing, I’ll use a 3 wing slot cutter in my router.

I sure would like to see a picture of Dudley’s spline jig. I’ve used a shop-made saddle fence on my table saw.
