Hello,
I read the instructions that came with the saw.
They all ( I have 4 different CMS's) say to use a framing square and align the fence to the blade. I did that on 2 of them, and it didn't work out all that great. - matter of fact it didn't seem to work out at all.
What did seem to work, was using two carpenters triangles placed in the slot and lining up each side of the fence, then checking it to the blade, and repeating the whole process until it looked right.
After that, I cut a sample, then checked it with the framing square, then went back and repeated the process until I got it just right.
Is that the way to do it or is there some better way?
Any tips on doing it better would be appreciated.
BTW - it took quite a bit of time. Mind,,I'm not complaining about the time
(to be honest,,,it may sound strange,,but,, I kind of enjoyed it).:eek: :o
