<p>Hi George - Ahh, yes, I do remember my saws being a bit on the sloppy side. Ken's suggestion is a good one but the masking tape will wear off on you. A more permanent solution would be to peen several places along the top edge of the miter runner with a center punch. This will expand the metal slightly and hopefully take out the side play. If you get to much, you can just dress it back down with a file, sandpaper, whetstone, to get a nice fit. Another method would be to drill and tap 5 or…</p>

If you get to much, you can just dress it back down with a file, sandpaper, whetstone, to get a nice fit. Another method would be to drill and tap 5 or 6 holes on the edge of the runner for nylon setscrews. 4-40 would be about right and that would make the bar adjustable.</p> Please define the comment or…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2013-01-28:2900167:Comment:5166572013-01-28T01:17:25.465ZKen Dargahttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/KenDarga

<p>Adding an auxiliary fence to your miter gauge will improve it's usefulness.</p>

<p><strong>I have already done that. The real issue is that a $200 Ryobi saw only has limited accuracy. The T-slots have too much play in them.</strong></p>
