Forget the table saw.

Trying to do this job on one is a disaster waiting to happen IMHO.

Too late.

Consider a 12" disc sander with 50 grit for this job.

Build a jig to hold piece and have at it.

My guess it will take as long to design and build the jig as it will to
do the job.

The pieces are to be cut lengthwise on two sides to balance the
increase in angle. I'm considering tilting to the required angle and
clamping firmly with jorgensen clamps held flat on the table, with
some room to spare, then carefully feeding into the sander, holding
onto the clamps to guide it.

Once more, thanks to all for the suggestions. i'm definitely going
with the sander.
