Hi fellas! I've been lurking for a few weeks, and finally have a post of my very own to make. Hope I can get some guidance, as there seems to be a lot of talented and intelligent people here.
My first saw (a grizzly 1023) came in last Friday. I have been slowly putting it together since then, trying to make sure everything is set up as it should be. I've cut a few half laps on it, and it seems to do a pretty decent job...especially considering the economy dewalt blade I currently have installed. It passes the nickel test with flying colors.
Anyway, I've read several posts where guys talk about their tables being within 0.005"-0.006" flat. I have no dial indicator, but mine feels really good. The biggest problem I have is the juncture of wings and the table itself. I can't get the two any closer than about 0.030" because the only thing holding them on are a couple of bolts in vertically slotted holes, which doesn't exactly lend itself to fine adjustment. Are there any tips for getting things lined up exactly?
By the way, I've been trying to adjust it by myself, as my wife is about 8.5 months pregnant, and not really in the mood to fool around with her first boy's toys at the moment. For all I know, this actually may require two people!
Thanks for any help.
