Assembling these various parts and some capacitors into a crude prototype, he raised up the blade on the Craftsman saw to its full height, turned the saw on, and gingerly touched the side of the blade (but not the teeth) with his finger. Inventor Steve Gass fed a hot dog into a table saw's spinning blade to simulate what would happen to a human finger. As he pushed a maple drawer front through the blade, the wood pivoted to Massey's left, hooking into the spinning saw blade. [Extracted from the article]

In other cases, you may opt to not shim to correct a miter that's open at the top or bottom but use the detent release lever that prevents the saw table from latching at a specific preset angle. And even a properly adjusted saw equipped with a less-than-perfect blade will do the job and yield an acceptable paint-grade miter on wood trim. Aside from saw adjustment and shims, a Starrett miter angle protractor is useful for finding the angle at which to set the saw when the corner where the trim meets isn't 90 degrees.
