I need to take about the width of my kerf from a 3' 1x4" piece of maple. I
don't have a jointer, so I thought the TS was my next best option. I had
the fence all lined up and a featherboard in place, but then remembered
reading that ripping very thin slices with a TS is unsafe. A friend that
does woodwork thought it would be ok.
Another thought was to just sand it off, but I think it would take a while
to get an accurate, straight edge. I just bought a router also, but I have
very little experience with it.
What would be a reasonably safe way to cut the wood accurately?

I take off small widths using a table saw. A three-foot square piece
should not be a safety concern. Asking if this procedure is safe is
a very good part of overall safety. I think a table saw is safer
than a router, although personally I have much more experience with a
table saw.
