Recently, on the advice of many people, I toed out my
Vega fence from being absolutley parallel to being out at the back of
the blade about the thickness of a business card. I ripped a couple of
boards and the cut is reasonable clean except for a few burn marks
(which is unacceptable). The burn marks are a result of having to
force the wood along the fence because it seems to want to travel avvay
from the fence on the outfeed side (as if the stock is staying parallel
to the blade in the kerf. Is the space on the outfeed side of the
fence the result of toeing it out?

YES.

Is the fence toed out too much?

YES

Any advice on further tune ups to really get the performance the
Forrest is capable? If not I will settle for the CMT.

Go back to parallel. The only reason to toe out is to keep the back side of
the blade from touching the wood between the fence and the blade. It only
agervates the situation as the blade hits the waste side on the back side of
the blade. Think about it.
This is a "Jerry Rig" to make a saw blade look like it cuts smoother at the
WW show.
It is hard to keep your wood tracking against the fence because the wast is
hitting the back side of the blade. Probably a dangerous situation if you
are not using a splitter.
