I'm setting up my saw and I've got the miter tracks to +/- 0.001" parallel to the blade (using a dial indicator) on both miter tracks. I'm pretty happy with that. :) (I've still got to put the cast iron wings and fence on which should be fun . . . . )
Using a straight edge, it looks like the cast iron table top is cupped in the center about - 0.005". :mad: I don't have a feeler gauge, so I used different thicknesses of paper slid under the straight edge then measured the paper thickness with a micrometer.
I read somewhere that you can take a sander with fine grit silicone sandpaper, and with some work, get the top "perfect". My friend says "Don't worry about it, it's nothing", you'll screw it up more by messing with it!".
Is the - 0.005" cupping on the top within acceptable tolerances (anything to worry about or take action on)? :confused:
