So, I finally put a level across by DeWalt miter box. I've attached a picture of the problem.
It appears the middle portion of the table top is lower than the two coplanar ends. The middle portion rotates and rides on a PVC shim. I have barely used the saw, so this is a disappointment. I had planned on cutting mdf for the back of the fence as there are bolt holes for this. I can see it being very cumbersome to use mdf for the bottom too as there are no bolt holes to attach it too and if I make two adjacent 45 degree cuts, the middle portion would fall out...
Are all miter boxes this poor in quality? What should I do? I am concerned that when I cut material it will never be perfectly 90 degrees.
