And what is your point then? If you want to use the rip fence as a stop, then use a spacer, push it forward or whatever, then your cuts will repeat. You don¡¯t use the rip fence as a stop, position your material with it way forward and then pull it back while the material is clamped, and that would be the only scenario where the toe out of both could/would be an issue.

Brian,
i have no issues with the cut on either rip of slider. even though the xcut is set to 90 deg, the slider trajectory has a 2 thou toe-out that i set myself. rip is set to 2 thou as well. so both rip and slider are closer together the farther you move back from front of the machine.

?You don¡¯t have to address any slider toe out, the crosscut fence is set to cut square, the part will come out parallel/square as the point that contacts the blade stays the same, what happens after the cut is kind of immaterial.

Joe,
i tried that but you still have to address the slider toe out. it is only 16 thou over 8¡¯ if the slider is set to 2 thou over 12¡±.
Mark,
Yes i tried, that is why i brought it up. i was ripping 1/8¡± thick sheet of ply with 4¡¯ side referenced to the long xcut fence. i was trying to get 10¡± wide piece on the right side of blade. i likely have to do more of these and will take pics and try John K solution.

?I generally have the rip fence set to that the far end is even with the far end of the blade. But when in that position, the close end of the rip fence contacts the sheet goods on the slide. I just realized today from this thread that the easiest solution is to have the rip fence slid as far away from me as possible and then the place where it contacts the sheet goods on the slider will be right at the measuring scale for the rip fence.

now that i have an outrigger i am cutting sheets. so far i have been using rip fence for setting the cut line, clamp, push away rip fence and cut. i thought about clamping a narrow piece to rip fence so material is rubbing against 1¡± vs the entire length of rip fence but it is still being constrained and i don¡¯t like it.
so my thought was to do the tape on the leading edge of rip fence trick so when i have it clamped (pulled back there is no toe-out in the rip fence). but there will still be slider toe-out to deal with.
so my question is, should the rip fence be adjusted to the trajectory of slider (toe-in) for this purpose (use as bump stop) instead of 0 toe out?
what would i be missing if i do that?
David B, i did look thru the survival guide this time ....
