    I'm ripping the trim lengthwise & cuts will be 7 feet long. This is why I have to use the tablesaw.
    The 2 adjacent pieces that I'll be gluing together are 2.5 inches wide, 5/16 think.
  2. Miter cuts greater than 45 degrees -lengthwise?

    I've got to make some outside corner mouldings that will be less than the standard 90.
    Any thoughts on how to cut the 2 long adjacent pieces on the tablesaw?
    I need to make a cut of 52 degrees....

    I am using slightly thinned Helsman spar varnish but it could be any other finish like poly or oil.

    Jerry,
    Love the table.
    Those inserts have aprons on the sides?
    Wouldn't it almost be necessary to have aprons to help keep those 15-1/2" inserts flat?

    Mine were from Lee Valley also.
    You're right about using the smaller drill -would be too loose in the jig bushings.
