I don't use the TS-55 much for ripping bevels full length of ply. When I do though, I have the damndest time keeping the cut straight. Now, before you suggest some things, I will tell you what I am positive of that I am doing to make sure things are straight.
It cuts through fine with no burning at all. Easy pushing, but it still is a 45 bevel. 20 amp circuit it's running off of.
What I get pretty much every time, no matter the length of the piece I am ripping, I get a curved cut. The ends are longer than the mid section. It's not a perfect curve, it comes on strong near the end of the panels.
Am I still getting blade deflection? Do I need to cut halfway, then cut full depth? Using the standard 48 tooth blade.
- The blade is sharp
- The table is flat
- The board is flat
- I have the 2700mm rail
- The piece is definitely not moving
- I cut to width first on the 90, then cut on the 45
- Plenty of rail support
- I'm not rocking the saw, place plenty of pressure down on the baseplate
