<p>WHEW!!!!, Aligning the fence to the the table was tough . Finally got it, am within .0001in. Had to adjust the tilt of the fence, was easy to do with the built-in adjustments. Had to align the blade to miter snots, was .167in. out. The trunion is mounted to the table, 3 of the bolts easy to get to, 1 is a bitch.

<p>WHEW!!!!, Aligning the fence to the the table was tough . Finally got it, am within .0001in. Had to adjust the tilt of the fence, was easy to do with the built-in adjustments. Had to align the blade to miter snots, was .167in. out. The trunion is mounted to the table, 3 of the bolts easy to get to, 1 is a bitch. I wound up using an air ratchet with extension and swivel to losen, see "Furnitude's" site for easy adjustment method. Got blade set to .0002in. After all adjustments done, did "NICKEL TEST" passed with flying colors. Did "PENNY TEST" next, also passes with no problem. Cut some pieces of wood. "UNBELIEVEABLE", cut like butter. Cuts are smooth with not burn marks. With the Freud blade the was no chip out. I would recommend this saw to anyone who needs a saw with manuverability and solid feel. Saw performs beyond my expectations. Feel free to ask any questions on the saw or how to set-up the saw.</p>

Get lots of friends to help you turn the saw over. IT IS HEAVY. When you assemble the rails for the fence, take your time to make sure all surfaces are level (table to extensions, table to front and back rails & extensions to front and back rails) if not, the fence will not slide properly. When done right, the fence glides back and forth with little effort. Speaking of little effort, the caster assy. when in the lifted position allows the entire saw to move around the shop with very little effort. <br/>To get the rip fence ruler to read correctly. slide the fence just till it touches the blade, then move the front rail till the indicator is on zero. make sure all bolts are tight. My next step is to align the fence to blade, blade to miter slots and miter gauge to blade. Will let you know when this is finished and am ready to do the "nickel test".</p>
