I just bought the rigid tablesaw about a month ago and I really like it, but I have one problem that I don't know if it can be fixed or if it is normal.
I have lined up the fence according to instructions, adjusted the blade to be square with the miter slots and everything else the instructions suggested. The problem is that if I move the fence to say 10" the outfeed side of the fence could be anywhere from 9 7/8" to 10 1/8". Basically it has about 1/4" of play from the infeed side of the table.
Once you lock the fence down it remains fixed and doesn't move but the outfeed side will be fixed to wherever it was before locking the fence. Is this normal? I was hoping that with a T style fence it would automatically square up the fence when you locked it down, am I wrong or do I need to tighten or loosen the bolt on the outfeed side?
