Cf741 rip fence issues


 

Hi there,
We have noticed that our casting on this 2007 cf741s rip fence is massively out of square. Is this by design??

Thanks

Simon

Simon,

Do you mean not flat, rather than out of square? ?

Hi Wade, yes I do mean not flat. Thanks for the clarification. Although we only noticed this because after undoing the hand screws and pulling the extrusion back, the fence was out of square with the blade.?

Yes, that unfortunately looks pretty severe.

Hi Simon,

I can’t tell how far off the part is from “flat” from the photo. ?But it looks like there may be enough material to machine the part so that it is flat. ?This might be an option if a replacement is not available. ?I am also wondering if part of the problem might be how it is attached to the base. ?Was it originally too wide where it is bolted to the base, and squeezed into place, causing the bend. ?It looks like a piece of cast steel or cast iron. ?They are prone to breakage if they are stressed too much, but they will bend, to a point.

Good luck,

Alex

For anyone else in this position, this nut was the issue. Tightening it straightened out the face that the aluminum extrusion sits against.?
