Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures
that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be
square. This procedure can be done by using a
32" x 32" piece of scrap plywood as a test piece
and making five test cuts, then adjusting the fence
as necessary.
Note: Getting accurate results with this procedure
is a matter of trial-and-error and patience.
To square crosscut fence with the blade:
1. Make sure sliding table is parallel with
main blade (refer to
Sliding Table Parallel
Adjustment on Page 76 for detailed
instructions).
2. Unthread 0° stop block knob bolt and loosen
angle scale knob bolt (see
Figure 159) to
allow fence to pivot.

Figure 162.
— If both measurements are within
1

", then
you are finished with this procedure.
— If both measurements are not within
