I have a Bies 52 fence properly setup, parallel w slot, parallel w blade, couple thou away from blade at out end.
Everytime I rip a long like 8' piece, whether full sheet or narrow board, somehow I manage to push the stock too hard to the fence, so the result is the far right corner moves away from fence slightly.
So then I end up w a ripped piece slightly narrow at that end.
I try and try to correct that, but it seems to happen almost always.
Only w stock like over 5-6ft +, NO problem w shorter lengths.
So I do believe it is from some incorrect pressure by my hands.
And I can see the gap happening as I put the board through the saw, but in my effort to keep stock against fence overall, it happens.
I do have good control of my hands and fingers as normal, but in this situation, feel lacking.
Anyone else have this problem ?
I am thinking of putting on a clamp on fence extension only for long stock rips to give me about 2 ft more of fence at infeed.
Thoughts ?
Marc
