Radius Of Saddle To Match Fretboard?

[shimmy]

Hi, Im about to re-radius my classical guitar fretboard....at the moment its dead flat (as classical guitars commonly are)....I giving the fretboard a 12 degree radius....I know that ill have to cut a new nut, but will it be necessary to have a new saddle to match the radius of the fretboard?

Any help or ideas would be much appreciated..

Thanks

My first instinct says it's necessary.

Just visualize it without a new saddle. How do you visualize the strings as they span the fingerboard?

That will give you your answer.
