What brand and model of saw are you using, and are you using a sled or just the miter gauge?
Also do you have a good quality sharp blade in the saw? What is the typical width and thickness of the stock you are mitering?
Are you cutting with the stock on the side the blade tilts toward, stock to the left on a left tilt saw for instance.

John I am using a Grizzly Model 1023z using the supplied miter gauge with an extended shop made wood fence with built in stops for cross cuts and miters the miter gauge is squared to the blade and the miter gauge slot is square to the blade. the material in question is 3 inches wide and 5/8 inch thick it is purple heart wood I am cutting on the left side of a right tilting tablesaw the blade is a good quality blade that has been resharpened I also tried a 60 thooth freud thin kerf fine crosscutting blade but that was even worse.
