Fine tuning the mitre fence
Several methods are acceptable to fine-tune the fence but we have found
that the following is a very practical way to achieve a square panel.
1.
Clamp the fence locked at 90 degrees against the stop.
2.
Clamp a sheet onto the sliding table and cut a straight edge [edge
“A”]. Mark “A”.
3.
Move the sheet so that edge “A” is tight against the fence, clamp in
position, cut edge “B” and mark “B”.
4.
Flip the sheet so that edge “A” is still against the fence but edge “B”
is furthest away from the saw blade, cut edge “C” and mark “C”.
5.
If the sheet is cut square edge B and C should be parallel. Check
this by measuring across the width of the sheet at both ends.
Note: This method will double the amount of error and any adjustment
that is required should be halved. Also the stop is closer to the table than
the end of the sheet, so only adjust the flip stop in very small amounts.
Example: You are using a 2’x 2’ sheet and you are out of parallel by
1/16”, adjust the stop =- 0.01” and repeat the cuts.
