: Sorry to read about your difficulties. One thing I should have
: added to my earlier post, it is important that the saw bearings
: are in good condition: I tried it first with a 30 year-old saw
: that had been heavily used and the results were awful, then I
: realized the bearings were worn out so there was lots of
: end-play. It goes without saying that the guide must be
: absolutely straight, and smooth so chips do not get stuck
: against it.

Thanks for the answer.
But my saw (Skill) was almost new and hardly used. I did find it difficult to set the fence straight and now suddenly I understand what happened beside the sawdust running between fence and board. I tried to use the tooths of the saw as a reference but they are not all to the same side. I should have used the blade itself for straightness and one teeth for thickness. I will give it an other try because i like the idea and hate saw tables.
