Hi,
I've got a sawstop PCS, with the stock fence. I set the angle on my blade with a digital scale to exactly zero degrees. About two months ago I aligned the blade to the miter slot (within 2 thou), and then the fence to the blade. When I rip, I'm pressing forward and right, towards the fence. I usually finish with a push stick. Forrest WWII blade.
I've been noticing that when I rip stuff, particularly thicker stuff, the cut surface isn't close to flat. Sometimes it's wood movement, I understand that, but often there's gaps between the freshly ripped parts. I try to put them back together, and usually the front and sometimes the back have a gap, like there's snipe or somethin' on the fresh cut edge.
Any ideas? should I redo my setup? Better technique? Get a new fence? Learn to live with it?!?
