Even with a tall auxiliary fence, I get burning when trying to raise panels (at 15 deg). Any ideas and/or solutions?

with the blade tilted at 15 deg and a standard fence height i've never had the cuts burned. does this occur when crosscutting the end grain or when "ripping"? are you perhaps feeding too slowly or not using the correct blade? another method that works well is to set up a fence diagonal to the blade and by means of many passes over the blade( with 1/4 turns to raise the blade) one coves all four edges (front and back, if you wish) to raise the arris (sp.?). this method requires quite a bit of hand sanding, some of which can be alleviated if on the last pass the saw blade is barely raised, thus leaving very faint or shallow saw marks.

Table saw panel raising
One way I've used is to dado all four edges of the panel, then add an "edge treatment" with either a hand plane, or a sander.

Thanks for your information. I think I'll try the "cove" technique you mentioned.
nj,
the cove method works well but has some intrinsic issues, best addressed. fww had an article during the past year and a half or so. it was well written and worth the read. maybe some sort of online, fww search will turn up the story for you. or perhaps someone here on knots with a better memory than mine...

LOL. That's why the teachers always put my desk facing into the corner. Or, maybe it was for some other reason? ;-)
ralph,
yeah, i know the feeling. but at least we weren't put backwards on the toilet seat.
