The right roller is mounted off-center on its axle
(eccentric) so that as the axle is rotated, the roller
will move from front to back a small amount.
Since the rollers are firmly held against the front
rail, this has the effect of changing the alignment
of the fence with respect to the miter slot. Do not
rotate the axle more than 180° in either direction.
First, try moving it in one direction while watch-
ing the relationship between the side of the fence
and the miter slot. F

If your table saw has been properly adjusted, the
saw blade should be parallel to the miter slot. If
your blade and miter slot are not parallel, refer to
your table saw manual to adjust the saw blade to
the miter slot correctly. Disconnect all electrical
power to the table saw and follow all safety rules
before you make any adjustments to your table
saw.

Align the front edge of the fence to the front edge
of the miter slot. Check to see if the fence is par-
allel along the length of the miter slot.

Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot is
somewhat misleading in that it should not be
adjusted perfectly in line. The back end of the
fence should fall away from the miter slot approx-
imately

This is called “lead” (pronounced 

leed). You don’t

have enough lead if there is “feather” or burning
on the wood as it is being cut.
