I've been woodworking for quite a while (20+years) and must be getting dumber. This sounds crazy but it's real and I'd like some useful advice on causes and cures.
Lately when I rip I end up with the good piece having a concave edge on both solid and plywood. The curve is noticable when it's laid on edge on the table saw table. I've tried with and without a feather board and splitter. The fence is square to the miter slot (as best as i can tell with an adjustable square) and the blade seems to be also - using the same method. What I've noticed is that the board creeps away from the fence after it is cut. I've tried putting pressure on the board so it's up against the fence as it enters the blade. Nothing I've tried seems to help. The curve is noticable on ~2' pieces and larger. I don't remember having this problem earlier in my woodworking hobby. What do I need to start /stop doing -- hints? Thx.
