Make Raised Panels with a Shopmade Table Saw Fence
Fast and safe panel raising with a shopmade tablesaw fence.
John White developed a heavy-duty tall fence to help him shape panels on the tablesaw. It clamps onto the tablesaw’s factory fence providing additional height to prop up the panel. The fence includes a support arm for rigidity and a micro-adjust feature to get the apparatus square.
In the video, White shows you how to make and use the fence. He also demonstrates his technique for creating an elegant panel. He starts with shoulder cuts to create a field in the center of the panel. Then he sets the blade height and angle to cut the bevel. In general, a 15° to 25° angle works well on a panel.

I'll probably never see a reply here, but... does this require much cleanup when you are done?
Not sure why you say you'd never see a reply, I replied to one of your comments yesterday! Whether or not you will have much cleanup is all contingent on how dialed in your tablesaw is, what kind of wood you're using and a myriad of other variables. So we can't really say.
Make another jig to hold sandpaper and sand the crosscut ends...........Even using a router, you are going to have to "clean up" the cross grain cuts.. Blade run out would be the trouble maker here.
I don't think this has anything to do with Issue #206. In fact John White is only talking about "Low-dust lubricant for a tablesaw"(page 84). Except for ads I don't think anything about a high fence nor cutting panels on it. Am I wrong?
