5.Measure the distance between the fence and the front of the blade at one end of the table insert, then mark the tooth that you measured from with a felt-tipped marker.

6.Rotate the blade to the other end of the table insert (Figure 120), and recheck the distance between the fence and the blade to ensure they are parallel.

Fence Scale

Calibration

The fence scale indicator window, shown in Figure 122, can be calibrated with the fence scale if you notice that your cuts do not accurately match what is shown on the fence scale.

7.Use trial-and-error to adjust the set screws so the fence is parallel to the blade and the clamping pressure is sufficient.

Optional: Some woodworkers prefer to off- set the rear of the fence 1/64" from the blade, as shown in Figure 121, to help prevent the workpiece from binding and burning.

The argument is that this offset adjustment reduces the chance of kickback by alleviating potential binding that may occur between the backside of the blade and fence. The trade- off is slightly less accurate cuts.

2.	Reposition and lock the fence at 12", as indi-
	cated by the scale.
3.	Flip your scrap piece of wood over, placing
	the side that was cut in Step 2 against the
	fence, and cut your scrap piece of wood.
4.	Measure the width of the freshly cut workpiece
	with a tape measure. The workpiece width
	should be exactly 12". If it is not, then adjust
