Have 1.25" 4/4 poplar to resaw that has wedge cuts for standards for
shelf supports . Would it be advantageous to make progressive cuts
instead of a single cut to part the material? Am behind timeline so
will make progressive cuts and report anomilies if any. Responses if
any will build knowledge base (whatever that is).

After posting I realized a senior moment had just ended. I've read
MANY times that incremental passes are the best way to go.
Alternative is half way and flip ends and finish. Doing it this way
disclosed blade slightly off 90°. Sorry about bandwidth waste!
Bob,
If I'm understanding you correctly, you have 1-1/4" thick poplar that you
want to rip in half ? Not sure what you mean by wedge cuts. Are you saying
the edge of the resawn poplar will be made into a sliding dovetail ?
At any rate, with only 1-1/4" to cut thru, no problem on cutting in one pass
and would be preferable to making multiple passes.
