I am making a drawer with a beveled front panel. I cant remember when I used a TS to cut a bevel last, usually do them on the router table. This is an angle that I dont have a bit for so doing it on the table saw. I cant remember if there is a rule of thumb, that either the scrap piece is above or below the blade as you cut?

No shortage of pollocks either!
IIWM, the scrap goes above the blade. Watch out for when it flies!!!:eek: Tis easier to control the important piece from below. JMHO.
Above assumes ripping. Below assumes cross cutting.
A smaller piece(shorter)
could be held from above the blade.
A longer piece may need to have the carriage and headstock moved to the right end of the way tubes.

Have not seen you here in the AM, thought may have been out of town and no lap machine or WiFi.

What was that??? SS are great but there weakest point is a TS unless you have the newest one. Mike Young at the demo did, changed it out in about 15 seconds with the guard attached, I was impressed with that change. Demo was great, still creaming about the Power Pro!!!!

My 'dsl' provider has been upchucking the last two days. Local thunder boomers knocked them out. Just got it back up a couple of hours ago.
Been 'catching' up this AM.
