Apologies if this is too frequent a question, I couldn't find an answer with a deja search.
I am getting blade marks when ripping. This condition developed gradually and I found that my fence had too much toe out. Correcting the toe out to a reasonable range didn't fix things but made them worse. My set-up is a Freud 24t red Teflon blade (LM72R)on a Powermatic Artisan table saw. Here are the characteristics:
1) The blade marks are identical/symmetrical on both the waste and the stock. 2) Cutting a 6" piece of wood and stopping just after it is cut. I get EITHER: a) With the rip fence set with too much toe out, there are identical upward marks on just the tail half of both stock and waste; the front remains smooth OR b)After reducing excessive toe out to about 1/32", there are identical upward marks on the tails of both the stock and the waste and identical downward marks on the fronts of both the stock and the waste. Is this just a toe out problem? I am confused by the marks being identical and symmetrical on both pieces of the cut and by the change I see with fence realignment. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bob Warren
