I have heard a band saw works for cutting spines off.
Yes I did use a table saw to cut my blocks to fit into the slip forms but would not recommend it. In stead set the blocks in vertically and pour slurry around them. Cutting the blocks was time consuming, messy and unnecessary.
I used to use magazines in the mix and would just extract the gluey spines from the slurry. I would only use mags as a last resort, although I have heard they are good for fine pc for plaster or sculpting.

Subject: Re: [papercreters] Re: Several hundred pound of old books
I've never cut a book on a table saw, was basing the suggestion on seeing Judith's success cutting pc blocks but then pc is normally a lot less dense than a hardback book. I think my spray washer would work on them but I'm not driving a thousand miles to find out :)

Well the table saw I have on the job will not rip the back splines off, it kind of grabs instead of cutting like it cuts wood, kind of scared me and help me make up my mind not to use. ------------------------------------
