Tuning a tablesaw - how close is close enough?
Hi guys
Ive got myself a DeWalt DW745 tablesaw. I’m still fairly new to the whole game so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but how close is close enough when getting a table saw exactly 90 degree from the table?
I know how / what I should be doing to tune the saw, but the DeWalt itself makes it extremely hard to dial things in.
Ive got a digital angle gauge and have that rating in the blade and the best I can get the saw to is 89.97 degrees. It took me half an hour to get this close because the bevel gauge is moved by pushing left or right I.e. you can’t make micro adjustments.
If you can imagine, I have one hand on the bevel gauge and the other on the locking mechanism, all while watching the reading on the digital gauge on the blade. When it reads 90, I go to push down, but given the difficulty in multitasking, the reading often skews out slightly, hence my issue.
i was wondering if anyone had some tips or tricks, or perhaps even some experience in getting their DeWalt into a perfect 90? That, or if having the saw at 89.97 is good enough.
Note - I want to build furniture so precision is important to me.
