Hi all.
I'm running a long, thin piece of wood across a chamfer bit to give it a sloped edge. I'm cutting away the entire edge of the board, so the pilot bearing is not making (and can't make, for this application) contact with the wood.
Of course, as the wood travels along the right side of the fence and its edge gets cut away, it doesn't meet the left side of the fence. Thus, when reaching the end of the board (and it is several feet long, much longer than my little Bosch table), I have no way of keeping the thing straight as I drag the last few inches of it across the bit.
Of course this same situation will occur any time you're cutting away the entire edge of a piece on the table, so what is the solution?
Thanks!
