I know it’s only a 6” but that’s all I need right now, couldn’t justify the extra expense for the 8” at the moment.

Check the calibration:

  1. Confirm that the outfeed table is parallel to the cutter head.
  2. Confirm that the outfeed table is level with the top dead center of the cut.
  3. Then confirm that the infeed table is parallel to the outfeed
  4. Lastly confirm that the fence, when set to 90, is square to the outfeed table.

This should all the the case right out off the pallet but it’s worth a check.

Adding on to this calibration comment that an engineer square is much more accurate for setting up machines than a carpenters square (which are often knocked out of alignment).

The wood and plastic squares are super easy to adjust.
