The posts here have been genuinely useful. I gave a 45 degree bevel a try yesterday, and noticed that it was dead on upon entering the board (came to a point just at the rubber edge), but sagged about 1.5mm towards the end of the cut (the blade was cutting about 1.5mm below the rubber edge upon exit). After scratching my head and checking my setup, I determined that the rail was twisting up towards the end, and thus lowering the blade a bit.
After making some adjustments, I reduced the sag to about 0.5 mm, but still have some tweaks to make before trying to cut any workpieces. I am putting bevels on boards that are up to 7 inches wide. I would appreciate any suggestions for tuning up the support of the guide rail so that the saw (a TS 75) doesn't sag at the end of the cut.
