Miter Slot to Blade
Parallelism
Your table saw will give the best results if the miter
slot and the rip fence are adjusted parallel to the
blade. If either of these are not exactly parallel,
your cuts and your finished work will be lower in
quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback
will be increased.
