I recently made two TS sleds. The fences were milled from the same rough piece of material. One of them, for reasons I will never know, I chose to finish in an odd sequence.
When sealing I normally work my way around putting a coat on all surfaces, sand, next coat, sand, etc. I recall doing all sides of the problem-child differently; four coats, except the back which I finished last because I was being lazy.
End result; warped fence takes a couple passes across the jointer, a trip to the RT to re-depth the ZCI dado and a trip back to the finishing area.
Moral: How much time did I really save by being lazy?
Other fence is fine.
