No, the fence isn't the problem, I suspect it's more a combination of operator error or inability for the operator or spouse to track a straight line. Well ok, in her defense, it wasn't like we had a really clear line. My thought was you set the line and if I could slide the saw along and use the guide or fence that came with the saw, it would work as it was intended. This is also true of a jig saw. I don't think these fences are really all that useful, a true straight piece of scrap or metal bar setup correctly would be best. Now the fence on my little jobsite table saw is incredibly stable and I like the unit very much. On Jun 18, 2008, at 9:31 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
