: Forget about the planer blade. Put in a carbide tip blade. Also, the
: measurement between fence and front of blade should be less then fence and
: back of blade.Forget about 100ths. that is what sandpaper is for! Cut the
: wood, and send it through the planer to get it kinda close. Good luck, Don

I don't think that you would want any offset in the fence. If it is closer at the front, then you are digging into your surface and will be leaving scratches in the wood from the blade tip. If adjusted perfectly straight, then you shouldn't have to use a planer, when using a carbide blade on the saw. Even a good quality steel blade will leave a good surface if it is aligned properly and kept sharp.
