You would think for 600 bucks this thing would be setup correctly straight out of the box. Can this saw be adjusted to cut square? I put my speed square the cut afterwards and it's off a pretty good amount. Other than that this saw is awesome. Anyone else have this problem? My 99 dollar Ryobi was spot on and I bought that 10 years ago.

Ok thanks. Yeah it looks like you just move the stainless steel bevel and then tighten the screws back up again.
