Hi Matt

I have a straightener that I have used for several years.... maybe over 20 or so. It's a piece of plywood that fits over the table saw blade and it is very accurate. I don't have a scanner or even a photo handy, but if he's still got it, Spidey has it on his site. Problem is, My computer is giving me fits and I can't get his addy any more. Someone posted it here about a week ago and I believe it's still showing my set up and the method for building it.

Maybe someone can help out with his site or you can do a search for Spidey, or Ken Kemski in the archives. Go back about a year and a half or two years.
