Very nice!  Would you mind if I move it to Gadgets, Jigs,Tools etc.  Also you might find a sanding block with 220 grit or so to help hold down the balsa sheet as you move it through the blade. Kinda helps me with my stripper.  I did find the bowing as you pointed out.  Good point!
I won my stripper in a contest a few years back!

Striping small sticks...

A year ago, I bought my own striper( Cheesy) but it didn't work well, built a fence board...better, but still not good enuf....well, I woke up early feeling a second Covid go a round, and sat and thought.
I'm better this afternoon.....so I put it together....and yes!!!
I screwed the stripper( Shocked) into the fence base, then put a larger xacto blade in, and drove the tip into the wood.
The wood is held firm against the fence, and feed it slowly until you build your technique.
I have 1/32x1/32balsa, 1/32x1/32 basswood, and even a few 1/32x1/64 balsa Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

P.s. if you find your pieces are comming out with a bow, your pushing to hard against the fence, compressing on one side, this bends the fibers just minutely.......

So....take heart fellows, get that stripper out, and put her to Work!! As the balsa gets hard to find.....make your own pieces!!! Cool
