Thanks.

Sounds like your taking the full cut at one go.
Move the fence closer to the bit, and take smaller cuts at a time.

Also think about a feather board system to hold the board tight to
the fence and table.

Never stand behind the outfeed side until you can control the feed
rate.

Pete,

Thanks for the info. I have received a ton of great tips today. Can
I
buy a Feather Board at my lock home depot or lowes?


Probably, but if you've got a 1x6, a saw, and a c-clamp it's easy to
make them. http://www.woodzone.com/tips/featherboard.htm isn't the
best set of instructions I've seen but it should be enough to give you
the general idea. Pick up a piece of oak at wherever you buy wood and
you should be set for featherboards for the rest of your life.
