In using the sc430 shaper cutters to make wainscot, I'm having trouble aligning the mating cuts. Any suggestions?

This joint is essentially a mitered spline joint which can easily be cut with an Amana Prestige saw blade and a tenon jig on the tablesaw. The groove for the adjoinin
g spline is cut with the stock on end and supported by the jig. As you can see in the drawing the jig rides along the fence and the fence keeps
the jig and workpiece on a linear path.
The miter is cut on the tablesaw with the blade height adjusted to create the shoulder of the spline.
