<p><strong>Securing table saw to stand/base:</strong></p>
<p>Bolting the saw to the stand is safer---</p>

<p></p>
<p>NOTE: when a "quick-connect" device is used, it should contain a "positive-locking" feature, so that it <strong>CANNOT</strong> be inadvertently disengaged, so that joining members <strong>DO NOT</strong> become easily separated.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Saw blade alignment:</strong></p>
<p>Step 1. Insure the blade is parallel to the miter gauge slot.</p>
<p>Step 2. Adjust the fence so its parallel to the miter gauge slot.</p>
<p>Accurate measuring devices are necessary to achieve accurate results.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For accurate setting of the fence, make the measurement from the fence face to the saw tooth blade tip edge, nearest the fence.</p>
<p>(The saw teeth are wider than the saw blade plate. When measuring to the plate face, the cut workpiece will be short). </p>
<p></p>
<p>Tape measurers aren't accurate---there can be variations of 1/32 to 1/16 inch.</p>
<p>They're okay for rough measurements, but not for precision.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I use a machinist scale or rule, for making accurate measurements---</p>
<p>Starrett, or equiv cabinets makers tools.</p>
<p>Sizes: 6", 12", 18", 24" and 36".</p>
