There is another thread on the forum about a fellow having trouble burning wood as he cuts it. Several responses were made concerning fence alignment and that raised a question in my mind.
First let me say that I am not having any problems, but I am always willing to learn.
I was told or read a long time ago that a good fence set up allowed the fence to "open" away from the fence by about .005-.010" to eliminate burning or binding and that is the way I have my table saw set up. Is this correct? Seems to me that if I set it dead to the blade, that it burns on species like maple and cherry.
I did not want to hijack the other thread by asking this question there, but I am interested in what the experienced forum members have to say.
Thanks
Wally
