Calibrating
Rip Fence
There are three adjustments that affect the accu-
racy and operation of the rip fence: 1) Height
above the table, 2) parallelism with the blade,
and 3) distance to the blade. If your cuts are not
square when using the rip fence, or if the width
of your cuts are inaccurate, check these adjust-
ments. Parallelism is an important safety adjust-
ment and the rip fence MUST be parallel with the
blade to minimize the risk of kickback.
Height Above Table
The rip fence and base should ride as close to the
table surface as possible without touching it and
with an even gap along the length. This is accom-
plished by adjusting the rip fence leadscrew hous-
ing and the roller at the end of the fence base.
