Thread: Einhell table saw fence

I started with one of those...

Few things, blade parallel to mitre slots. There are some socket screws which adjust the whole mechanism with respect to the table top. Needed a long extension on a 8mm allan key socket and a bunch of time. Took me a couple of frustrating nights to fix this on my saw.

Secondly I used an aluminium pool fence post and rebuilt the fence. There are a couple of screws in the front assembly that locks onto the table which allow some tolerance between this casting and the fence bar.

Lastly, the blade that came with it was rubbish, and needed to be replaced before it ever cut well. Be careful not to over invest.

This saw worked fine for a couple of months, then I gave it away when a contractor saw came up on gumtree locally for the right price. My mate had it a month or so before the motor burnt out while he was ripping a pine stud.

Once the adjustment was done it cut ok, but it was always much more difficult to achieve good results than my subsequent saw.


Good luck with it, and allow a good while to set it up

Thanks zzpanic

I'll tinker with the alignment of the blade on the weekend but when you rebuilt the fence did you still have alignment issues because of the "pinching" mechanism at the front of the table which secures the fence?

Yeah, the cam sometimes vibrated loose, but I didn't have problems with it not locking square. I resorted to a clamp on the fence at the outfeed table by the time i got rid of it, just to keep it all aligned.

I pretty quickly outgrew this saw mainly as i started thinking of rebuilding the fence rather than making any woodwork. I think the easiest thing would to use the existing front rail and build a fence like the one here.

I'm keen to know which way you end up going to solve your problem.

I'll keep you in the loop on how I get on with it

thanks for the tips

hey zzpanic

Where are the socket screws to adjust the blade?? It's been driving me batty today looking for them

Easiest to describe with a parts diagram...

These saws have common designs amongst several manufacturers with a few differences. Picked ozito for the manual because I couldn't find an einhell one. There are some slotted holes in item 57 which bolts to 55. These allow for the adjustment. There are four socket screws to loosen and tighten to get this right. I loosened three and bumped it square with a lump of timber. I think i did this several dozen times before i was happy with the result.

I had to adjust mine because the blade was out about 1.5mm over its length from the mitre slots out of the factory.

Good luck.

Cheers for that!

the saw has been driving me nuts as they are as good as useless to rip when out of square. I'll get around to it soon as I get a few other projects finished up

If you just want to rip stuff, there are two socket head cap screws in the fence bar/clamp assembly. Loosen, adjust and tighten. They are designed to be adjustable.

Won't help you with cross cuts though.....
