Positioning Table Supports/installing Front Table/Leveling Front Table

Note: The goal in adjusting the table supports and leveling the front table is to make sure that the table is
the same distance from the radial arm at all points. This ensures that when the table and blade are installed
the clearance between them will be equal at all points.
