    Raised Panel Technique

    Latest woodworking tip is about raised panel on the table saw. I rarely question more experienced woodworkers but this technique seems a bit dangerous to me. Perhaps it just seems awkward feeding into the side of the blade.

    Just wondering what the experts here think..

      Hi Vinh,
      I'm no expert, but I just did 12 panels using this technique. I had made a panel raising jig, but the initial results were not perfect, so I decided to go for a 'more fool-proof' method. BTW, thanks a bunch to Pat (Popeye) and Jeff (jethro) for the tip!
      I fed mine at 38 to the blade. I agree that 90 may be too sharp.

          It'l work, just remember to go slow. Start with the blade barely touching the wood and use no more than 1/8" blade adjustments at a time and feed the work [u]</u>sslllooowwwwllllyyy.

              Seems that there would be two choices for direction of cut. The tip mentioned by Vinh shows the blade entering at the tip of the board and exiting at the bottom side. I wonder if there'd be more risk of destructive tear out this way than in the alternative: blade entering at bottom side, exiting at the tip of the board.

                  Tearout doesn't seem to be much of a problem but you're gonna spend alot of time with a either a gooseneck scraper or a sander or both probably doing them this way. That being said..... I've done quite a few this way and have been really happy with the result. Pat

                      Chris,

                      I can't figure out what you mean by this. What is 38 degrees to the blade?

                      Thanks,

                          In your example, the fence is perpendicular to the blade, but it doesn't have to be. You can create all sorts of profiles by changing this angle away from 90 degrees, and by varying the blade angle on the saw itself.

                          This'll give you an idea:

                              Vinh,

                              What Tom said. I set the sacrificial fence to 38 degrees to the blade as opposed to 90 degrees.

                              Here's more info:
