As with many things in woodworking there are many ways to do the same thing and will get the same results. The way you cut your strips works good for you. I can see if you don't have a jig and need to get your strips cut the way you are doing it would work and will get each one very close to the exact measurement you need. For me there is just some things that worry, like.
Putting tape on the fence cursor, well not putting it on but getting it off and not leaving sticky stuff that will collect saw dust.
Remembering the exact position of the mark, what if is between the marks on the scale or not on the mark and just touching it a little, what is a little. When cutting inlay strips they need to be exact.
Being the line you make on the tape is not a double line the angle you look at it can make a big difference.
Calculating the exact thickness, blade plus the width of the strip, that can be a problem with some blades that are not an exact width, like thin kerfs or blades that are not exactly 1/8".
Now lets talk about simplicity.
With the jig Dick has made or the one from Rockler.
Place the jig on the saw and measure from the blade to the bearing and lock that setting.
Move the jig back in front of the blade and lock it down.
Start cutting strips and each one will be the exact same width and you don't have to remember the position of anything. When I say the exact width you can measure it with a caliper and it will be with-in a few thousands of an inch each time.
I am not trying to put down your way of cutting strips it is just for me I can see to many chances for me to screw up which I do to often.
I would also suggest that you go to ShopNotes magazine's web site and submit the idea to them, you just maybe could get a $100 for the idea.
