Being a nut with calipers as DB puts it, I know the feeling super well when the machine I dreamed about did not turn out to be perfect. For me $7K back in 2001 for a bare bones KF700 was a ton of money and there were some disappointments. Frankly the only one I can recall now was, who the heck builds a rip fence w/o a pointer on the scale.
The machine is still serving me well. So I hope once you get past this and starts enjoying using the machine, this hiccup will become a distant memory ?

PS not sure how much you need to raise but brass shims in thousands of inch thickness are available cheap, in case you only want to go 5 to 10 thou

?I spoke with a tech yesterday. While being very nice etc, he suggested maybe putting some washers under the 6 screws to raise it up. I was hoping for something better than a? "make do" approach. It seems the fence is tilted from front to back and should not be that way. I will figure it out on my own. Once I install the extension table, I will see if I can raise the bracket to help the cause, however I am sure the bracket is installed exactly to the specs given to me in the manual.
