I like the idea. I’ve been cutting the panels using Jim Tolpin’s sliding fence jig, with the blade angled as you said. I had to stare at yours for a minute before I realized that you push the panel along the jig, but the jig remains stationary. I always have some excitement when the blade tosses the offcut wedges (I wear leather gloves and a full face shield and stand well clear of the projectile path) so I gather your jig has less of this problem? I do like the fact that you should get a uniform thickness for your panel edge, whereas mine depends on keeping sideways pressure on my sliding jig. I might add a T slot for a sliding bar (similar to a miter guage, but no need for adjustable angle here). Thanks for the idea.

I tried beveled panels before and didn’t like it too well but I think I may try again using your jig.

Steve…
Be careful with leather gloves on a table saw. If blade contact with the glove is made, your hand can be drawn into the blade. If I need grip using the table saw, I find “carver’s tape”, sold by Lee Valley, Woodcraft, Highland, etc… provides grip and sliver protection without loose leather.

That jig has a lot of potential Jim. I like the idea of the support at the bottom, i guess you just slip it over the blade & don’t pass it all the way through.
