Interesting. My set screw was impacting my alignment. I backed it off and realigned my fence. Never noticed it before I read the post. It wasn't covered in the alignment video I watched.

Thanks tomsalwasser. Really hoping I can get it aligned and sell my old table saw.

Thanks @dusty and @ERLover
We have some snow coming this weekend so maybe I'll take another swing at saw alignment. I followed the Mal Hyams youtube videos so far. Do I need a "dial indicator" to get it aligned correctly? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks. I spent a couple of hours Sunday trying to get the table saw aligned. Much better now.

Thanks. I'll have to get that part. I'm surprised that the handle end of the miter bar doesn't have a washer (part 283) like the front does. This would prevent the handle end from riding up. I'm sure its by design but i'm not sure why.

Thank you all again! I was fortunate that the screw was in the handle so i have attached it to the base. This makes a big difference as the clamp is much stronger now.

@JPG - I'm not sure what the "miter angle stop pin" is.

Also, I am missing "Taper Screw" (279). Trying to figure out what it does ...

Thanks for quick responses. I moved the claim handle and it is much better now!! Not sure what the tilt stop pin is yet - going to have to look it up.

Hi Everyone
I am wondering if my gauge is missing a part on the bottom? It seems sloppy toward the rear (claims side).

Thanks
Bill
