On the jet fence and most other "T" square style fences I've seen the shims or adjusting screws located near the ends of the "T". By adjusting the thickness of the shims you can adjust the tightness of the cam against the rail and the squareness of the fence to the blade. You might try placing shims at the ends of the T on the side opposite the cam and see how that works.


Thanks Clay. That's what I did and it seems to be working out ok. See pic in my previous post.

I will finally get shop time the next few days and I will finish setting up my saw and try to remember to post pics. I'm pretty excited about getting this done because Ive been working on it for weeks!

I just completed the final set ups on my table saw and made some test cuts. It's in tip-top condition now. This is my first complete table saw rebuild and set up so I'm um, proud of myself I guess! Here is a pic of the saw and my shop. I built the first fire of the season today. Thanks you all for your help.

I'm not sure why this debate would be considered "dumb"

The Incra fence offers many advantages over the traditional Biesemeyer style.

If you want to cut a bone nut or saddle to width, accurately, first time, you can't do it with a Biesemeyer. You can with an Incra.

Also, if you want to cut custom width veneer strips, it is impractical to do so with a Biesemeyer style fence, but with the Incra, you just dial in the increments, and the strips peel off the left hand side.

If that's dumb, then call me dumb.
