Hard to explain, I need to draw that up for you.... maybe not. You
want the upside seam to be vertical, not on any tangent of that 1/8".

You're saying the top of the surface of material should match up with
the apex of the curve in the cutter... the farthest point in or out in
the curve.

You want the exit apex to be vertical, 90° to the surface. If you do
anything less or more than that, you will be feathering the edges,
lengthening/widening the edge. It would make sense to keep that as
tight as possible.
Your question, in itself, tells me you understand.

In between posts, I finally found a manual on the PC website for the
"system."

Can you give a link to the manual? I couldn't find it.

There website is horrible.

orhttp://xrl.us/trumatch

If that doesn't work, do to the front of the link and search for
"tru-match" under "model."


Oh my.....
That base is a piece of awfulness. It flexes, doesn't stay true and
simply isn't big enough.
$ 46.00 buys a precision phenolic base from Pinske.
You don't have to buy his insert bit holder and wavy bit inserts,
because the PC and Freud ones work just fine.

Look for 'wavy bit' and base.

It wasn't an endorsement from me. I was just looking for pictures for
my feeble brain. :-)

His stuff definitely looks better.

I love multitaskers and I've never had a good rip blade.
I know I paid too much, but that silly schedule schmedule got the best
of me.

This blade is living up to its hype.
First thing I noticed is that the stock moves a lot faster with a
dedicated rip blade.
Second thing I noticed is that the cut surface comes out looking as good
or better than a edge done on a router.
With the exception of some light burns due to operator error, it cuts a
pristine edge.

IMHO, table saws shine at ripping, it is what they do best. Cutting
panels to size (plywood, MDF, PB) is another of its strong points, but
a proper panel saw does that job better and takes up way less space,
but you can't rip lumber on a panel saw, so table saw it is.
