I've learned NEVER use a table saw on balsa! I've tried all sorts of fine-tooth blades, and the wood always comes out warped. Heat of the sawing, I guess. I cut all balsa with a band saw, which doesn't seem to heat the wood and make it warp. Trailing edges are easy, remembering how wood shops do "re-sawing". That is sawing the wood across the long side (i.e. a 1" X 4" cross section becomes two pieces of 1/2" X 4"). Clamp a fence next to the band saw blade. It can be parallel to the blade, or tilted (for trailing edges).
F.C.
