The edges are parallel but the top is never parallel, it is in the same plane. It is no good referencing to the blades as they are movable. All reference must be made to the cutter head or drum. As for feeler gauges you can use them but there is a quicker and far better way. Get a torch and shine it behind the straight edge and look for light. In a well lit area you don't need a torch. Any light indicates a problem, this is far quicker and more likely to find problems. Actually a straightedge is strictly not even necessary, you can use string and light to do the same job but toys are nice and it is a good excuse to buy one. Mind you I think we are talking at cross purposes here, I am talking of setting the tables flat in both planes as referenced to the cutter head. It is only after that the blades can be set. BTW you will see light through a gap that no feeler gauge will fit through.
