I feel the saw blade properly belongs to the left of center of the table insert. That allows a little room for extending the quill slightly to make fine adjustments in the location of the saw blade.

A curved side rotates instead of staying flat on the guide making it very difficult (?impossible) to maintain a stable ang...
