I have finally gotten around to building an outfeed table for my table saw. While trying to work out the clearance for the blade guard assembly (non-riving knife Jet Cabinet saw), I inadvertently tilted the blade with a zero clearance insert in place. (the tilt was intentional, the forgetting to remove the ZCI was inadvertent ) I didn't go to far, but am concerned I may have slightly bent the blade (full kerf WWII). I put a dial indicator on the saw plate and rotated the blade, it looks like there is a deviation of 0.002-3 in a section. I haven't run a test cut. And I don't know what the spec is for plate flatness. Is this going to be an issue?
Forrest sharpening has straighten a saw plate on their price list as time basis $7 minimum (plus $25 sharpening, $12 shipping)
Questions
1. Is that enough deviation to cause me issues?
2. If so is it worth getting straightened, or just demote to more utility uses and get a replacement?
