While reading some of Jim Tolpin's book Table Saw Magic I came across a picture of an X-ACTA fence. Is the same as a Beismeyer fence of today. I also read the thread started tonight about the General table saw and the out of square fence.
My reason for asking and wondering is a friend recently aquired a X5 Delta cabinet saw. I suggested he check the fence for square on both sides of the fence as the General fence was only square on one side. He laughed and said it didn't matter! Da-- school teacher's anyway. I think after he reads Jim Tolpin's book he'll check the fence for square.
I'm Just wondering how important it is for the fence to be square on both sides, since you only saw from the closest side anyway.
