splitter alignment question

[whit richardson]

I have a delta unisaw and installed the biesmeyer detachable splitter to aid in being better about using the splitter. When doing some test rips I find it pinching a bit so I rechecked my alignment. I see that the fence side of the blade and splitter line up but that means the splitter is not center to the blade. Should I shim my blade to get the splitter centered or try to readjust the splitter? This biesmeyer doesn't look like you get much play to adjust it after rechecking how it bolts to the unisaw. ideas?

I would shim the splitter and not the blade.

Whit, definitely readjust the splitter - I don't have that saw, and some might think I went overboard, but I used a dial indicator mounted to the miter gauge slot to make sure the splitter was centered on the blade.

thanks guys. Actually I used my buddies dial gauge to align the table with the blade blank but then I also swapped my existing blade for a new Delta blade.
