    Default Machinery House 254 Table saw fence question

    Not sure where this post might belong so apologies if it’s in the wrong place.

    I just took delivery of one of Machinery Houses 254 table saws and sliding table setups.
    the sliding table adds a dimension I hadn’t quite anticipated so I’ve yet to install that, but I was wondering if anyone else had one of these saws and could enlighten me if it’s possible to adjust the fence because it seems slightly off by a couple of mm towards the back of the table. I’ve read the instructions (I use that term very loosely) but nothing seems to indicate how to adjust this and when it does get into the nitty gritty of adjusting things the translation seems to get worse, or I just got more tired after deciphering it all day long.

    Cheers in advance

    Have you looked at the additional assembly instructions on website download tab?

    There are instructions in there to align the fence to the mitre slot, or is the problem the blade is not parallel to the mitre slot?

    I have the big brother of this saw, and have effectively given up on the reliability of the fence to accurately be parallel to the blade. I adjust the fence prior to each cut - time consuming, but it works for me.

    Thanks, that actually helps a lot, the instructions I got with it were a tatty black and white printout. Those ones are far clearer.
    Hopefully I can get it sorted out.

    cheers

    oh, that doesn’t sound that great. I’m going to try and adjust now I have a better set of instructions…. Wish me luck!
