    Default Table saw alignment & "short fence"

    G'day Mates

    I would like to share with you my method.

    I think that almost all table saws comes from the factory "almost" aligned so, I'm using this procedure to "fine tune" the factory "almost"...

    As you'll see, I'm not using any Hi-Tech nor Lo-Tech instruments because every blade has some run-out and flutter and I think that the blade itself "knows" the best if it's aligned or not.

    I'm just "listening" what the blade it "telling" me and correcting accordingly...

    The test must be done with the blade at "full up" position.

    The "test piece" should be of MDF

    Toooooo the pics.......

    Regards
    niki

    Thumbs up Wow! Again!

    G'day Niki, You are a bloody marvel.
    Think I might have to getmy ears tuned first, however.

    nice one. obvious now that you point it out used to use my ears when tuning the triple su's on my old 240Z and have often heard the differences in sound that the blade makes as slowing down doh!!!
