I am building a table saw jig for making 80″ long tapered posts from an article in woodsmith no. 153 2004 and have the front the rear pivot blocks made and the indexing block.In the drawing it shows everything flush to the top of the table saw which works when cutting the tapers but when you index the pivot block to cut the stoped chamfers the jig does not sit flush to the top of the table saw any more.This can be fixed by raising the two outside blocks but the jig and print do not show this,anyone have any thoughts.

When I made my pencil post bed, I dealt with same issue. Decided instead to use hand plane to do chamfers with lambs tongue transition at the stop. More work, but less potential for "oops" factor, sawing stopped cuts. Basically I was too lazy to figure out the details of a jig.

I could cut the corners off the indexing block which is the issue anyway or I could just shim up the two outside blocks which would alow for the indexing block to rotate freely
