I need to separate two halves of some thin molding, and take off 3/16 while doing it. Two 24 tooth ripping blades for the tablesaw together equals a 3/16 kerf. Can I safely put two 10″ blades together on the saw if I space the teeth so that they don’t touch each other.? If not, and I take off 1/8 with a full-thickness blade, how do I trim 1/16 off the edge of the small molding half safely? I have a lot of moldings to do, so hand-work is not an option. Thanks for the coaching.

Safe Enough
I have stacked a couple of conventional blades, or more, as though they were dado blades numerous times and never had a problem so the basic answer is yes it can be done. All the basic safety rules about working with a table saw still apply of course.
