I got the Woodpecker saw gauge (http://www.woodpeck.com/sawgauge.html), which I really like much better then the Super Bar I had.
I checked the arbor and the arbor flange and they were both great, no movement in them at all.
I then installed the Mater Plate (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=6039) and check the miter slot to Mater Plate and found it to be off only .003, now I know this is nothing less then a piece of paper but what the heck can I get it closer.
I worked for about and hour and a half and was not having much luck. Every time I got it set spot on and tightened it down it would change it back to .003.
I was ready to say let it be when I decided to try one more thing, I set it off at -.003. Well now when I locked everything down it came in at .001 but no I just can't let it stay there.. so I then set it to -.004 and locked everything back down..... well what do you know .000.
Put everything back together, put the blade on and did some cuts. Then I took the blade off, put on the Master Plate and checked everything, still at .000 what more could I as for.
So is .000 close enough??????
