This presumes that the blade is aligned dead on with the
miter slot. It would also help to have an extension fence attached
to the miter gauge face, for the same reason that you use a
#8 to joint an edge instead of a block plane.

That said, I now have another use for my indicator and my
18" Starrett combo square.


If the blade isn't exactly parallel to the miter slot the only result
would be a wider kerf.


And tooth marks on the work.
