3.
Mount the fence on the rail again, move it
approximately 4" away from the blade, and
lock it in place.
4.
Measure the distance between the fence and
the front of the blade, then mark the tooth
that you measured from with a felt-tipped
marker.
5.
rotate the blade 180°, and recheck the dis-
tance between the fence and the blade tooth
you marked in Step 4 to ensure they are par-
allel (see Figure 121 on page 73).
6.
use trial-and-error to adjust the set screws

the reason for this wider gap at the back side of
the blade is to help prevent the chance of kickback
and the blade burning the workpiece because
a workpiece may be inconsistent. however, the
trade-off is less accurate cuts, and if the fence is
placed on the other side of blade for other table
saw operations, the potential of workpiece burn-
ing and kickback can be increased. Whenever
using a fence, make sure that if an offset has been
adjusted in the fence alignment, you use the fence
on the side of the blade where the offset creates
the wide gap.
