You manually set/move the blade to the first cut position..  set preference to 1 1/2.. set start position..  make your first cut.. once you've brought the head back from the cut..  just hit autodown.  It will position to the next cut.  Now after every cut & return..   just hit autodown.  Clear as mud?

The Super Setworks on the 2000 doesn't work like that.

Those are some nice looking boards.

There is a way to get the TK Super Setworks to cut even side lumber down to a specific cant size (for example take 1" boards down to an 18.25" cant with no skim cut) but it's kind of complicated and you really need to thoroughly understand the operation of the setworks before trying it.

Thanks for all the good answers.  I am using .042" Munkforsager blades.  I set them close to .022".  Here's another one to stump yawl: sometimes when I think I have a preset selected, it's not.  Maybe I'm selecting presets wrong?  There's two buttons I've found to see what the presets are, maybe I'm not hitting the right one to set it each time.  Often times I find myself doing the math in my head over the setworks.  For to find out 18-1/4" and 12-1/8" I didn't even think to use the setworks for a second, I just whipped out a piece of paper and did some figuring.
Boy, back in my day..
