Whenever I tape legs I always have to cleanup one side to get the
beginning of the taper perpendicular to the leg.

I am curious why? This leg that was squared in the planer has pencil
marks for clarity.

One side is perpendicular,
The other side is not. The blade comes up all the way thru and then
some, I use a high blade not just thru.

The way I rotate offers support on the backside.

Does anyone know why this is happening? I am getting tired of fixing
these after the fact.


Think about what you are doing here a bit. Your blade is round. Think
stopped dado being made on a TS. Is the end straight up and down/ square?
No. Tapering the cut exaggerates the result. Because the upper part of
the round blade begins to cut farther down the taper you get the slanted
line.
You need to use a blade that cuts perpendicular to the work to have a taper
begin or end squarely. Try your bandsaw.
