I tried to make a feature ring (eventually for WoodturnerPro) using a design from LaminationPro. But as I cut the strips on my portable contractors table saw and then glued them together it became quite obvious something was amiss. It you look at the pictures in the link below it will be apparent. I suspect my table saw has 1 or 2 alignment issues. The blade may not be 90 degrees to the table and the fence may not be parallel to the blade. I also don't think I cut the matching 1/7 2/6 3/5 strips to the same width. I was cutting the strips from what I think is called the waste side of the blade and not from the section between the blade and the fence.
Can a portable table saw be precise enough for such intricate cuts or do you need a high quality solid cabinet saw?
