Wade do you have multiple tapes? ?Just to double check your reference tape. I have found a few in my shop that are not as accurate as I had assumed then to be.? Steve Lyde

? Steve,
No yard stick, but going to lay my tape down on it and compare.
Thx,

I¡¯ve got the toe out dialed in right where spec says it should be. ?Then carefully tightened the other two remaining bolts on the support bar, while checking the indicator each time. ?Everything is good and tight. ?So then I calibrated the rip fence scale at 10¡± from the blade. ?Then I proceeded to measure at 5¡±, 10¡±, 20¡± all dead on. ?Then I get to 30¡± and it¡¯s off by a 1/32¡±, then out at 40¡± it¡¯s off en entire 1/16¡± of an inch. ?There has to be something else wrong here.

? I think you¡¯ll find an analog (rather than digital) dial indicator far more useful for alignments. ?Generally speaking, you¡¯re looking for relative measurements rather than absolute - like in the case of the eccentricity of your rip fence wheel. ?Get yourself something like this:

David, your a smart guy!
Video attached. ?It just went over .010 in one spot! ? I¡¯ll forward this to Felder as well
? Rotate the rip fence housing around and upside down. ?Mount the dial indicator mag base somewhere inside the rip fence housing and indicate over and down to the wheel. ?Then carefully rotate the wheel and observe the indicator reading. ? If the indicator reading changes more than say 0.010¡± as it¡¯s rotated, then the wheel is defective and causing your fence to bounce up/down as it traverses the surface of the machine. ??
Yes, Just bought one prior to the saw showing up. ? Thx, Wade On Feb 12, 2022, at 9:13 AM, david@... via <david@...> wrote:

Are the two nuts, circled in red, only to adjust the rip fence 90 degrees to the table surface? ?And the ONLY way you want to dial in your toe out is through the adjustments of the large 50mm support bar as you described David?
Correct.
Do you have a dial indicator with magnetic base? ??Similar to this?
