Maybe someone can explain why I'm having no luck rotating the table top, because I sure cant figure it out. The back of the blade is about 0.005 of an inch closer to the miter gauge than the front, as measured from the same tooth. I've loosened three of the four bolts that secure the table top to the base and whacked the table pretty hard from a variety of directions, but cannot get any adjustment (rotation). Do I have to remove the extension wings to reduce the drag on the system or what. Ive been at this for over an hour and am a wee bit frustrated!! :confused: Thanks

I know it sounds obvious but would loosening the fourth one help? I did mine when the extensions were installed but loosened all four bolts.

.002 is plenty good. When I dialed in my Unisaw I loosened all 4 bolts and then snugged 1 back up to act as a pivot point.
