Since I mentioned 3 degrees in an earlier post, I should clarify that a bit.

I like to make a short test piece from scrap with @ 3 or 4 degree angle on one edge (with proper push board precautions) and check it at various stations for fit. Then increase the angle if necessary until it fits best at the majority of stations. When I'm satisfied, I run the actual two strips, one for each side. They may require some hand planing but the table saw angle gets me off to a pretty good start. And it has been surprising how many strips fit before the angle changes. I never did very well trying to freehand the entire length of the strip.
