The blade measurements on the Shop Fox W1829 may appear different after adjustment due to changes in the infeed table height, which controls the depth of cut. Adjusting the infeed table alters how much material is removed, affecting the perceived blade position relative to the workpiece. Additionally, the fence position can influence the width of the cut.

Shop fox w1829 after adjusting the blades when running meterial through one end measures different.

Mr. Anderson

The Shop Fox W1829 may show different measurements after adjusting the blades when running material through one end due to improper alignment of the infeed and outfeed tables or inconsistent blade height. If the infeed table is not correctly set relative to the cutterhead, or if the blades are not evenly adjusted, the depth of cut can vary across the workpiece. Additionally, if the fence is not securely locked or positioned correctly, it may cause uneven cuts. Proper calibration and alignment of these components are necessary to achieve consistent results.
