I did my first raised panels on the table saw today for some doors to a
cabinet I'm building for SWMBO's scrapbooking 'tools'. They came out
great, after I sanded for 30 minutes. I ended up with a burn mark or
two on almost all of the angled cuts.

I spent a lot of time aligning my TS blade so I'm pretty sure its lined
up right. I think the issue was just that so much of the blade was
exposed to the wood and the fact that it was tilted 14 degrees to the
left meant that the panel was resting, so to speak, on the blade as it
passed through.

how much were you hogging off on each pass? 1/16" is about right.


He was doing straight angled panels not the other way of doing it on
the TS, which would have meant even more sanding
