510 Rip Fence alignment

[cooch366]

I've just picked up a used 510 (my 2nd unit) and I'm in the process of setting it up.

It is missing some of the tubes and legs, but the table and miter are there.

In setting it up, the rip fence needs adjustment. it is not square to the table or the blade when you tighten it up.

I do not have any of the instructions.

Can someone tell me how to make adjustments to the 510 rip fence to make it square?

Thanks Steve

Pix of the 'problem' would help as there are at least two versions of the 510 fence.

The first place to look is to make sure a set screw on the front of the fence bracket that fits against the rail is NOT contacting the rail. Back that set screw out until none of it extends into the rail area. Better yet remove it and store it until you determine you have a need for it.

In checking there is no set screw. I'll try and post some pic's to help out.

I've been able to square off the mitre, the table to the blade (both vet & horiz) but the fence appears to be off by a 1/32 to 1/16th when tightening it.

Thanks for the help
