It's a nice clean design that compliment the wood and the kit very nicely Chuck. How fast you running the saw? I like slow and easy. You get cleaner cuts that remove more material when the speed is lower. On my saw I run about 30% all the time, and the tension should be real tight, like if you push on the front of the blade with minimal force, it should not go back more than a 1/6th to an 1/8 max. Tension and slower speed will allow the blade to cut the wood without any bowing of the blade, so you stay totally vertical. You do not push sideways on the blade ever, so you are only just feeding in from the front nice and easy, and when you are making a turn you are still just feeding in from the front because you turn the wood a bit, not the blade. If you are feeding at the same rate it is cutting, you won't get any of those uncontrolled jagged edges where you went off line a bit then tried to correct yourself. If you do go off line a bit, come back to the line gradually instead of abruptly..this way you won't be able to even tell that you arced out a bit further than planned. An abrupt correction is going to become noticeable not only to the eye but to the metal as well, because the metal can't bend sharp enough back and forth through the corners.
