Miter Slot to Blade
Parallelism
Your table saw will give the best results if the
miter slot is parallel with the blade. If these com-
ponents are not exactly parallel with each other,
your cuts and your finished work will be lower in
quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback
will be increased.
