Just finished assembling my new Griz 0490X. I can't get the fence to work correctly. Or I don't know how the fence is supposed to work.
When first put together the fence would drag across the out feed table. Nasty scratch. I loosened the allen bolts and re-set it maybe a 64th higher and when the fence is set at 90 deg. it's OK. But anytime I loosen the fence clamp or slide clamp it no longer goes back to 90 deg. When I try to set it for a 45 deg. cut the whole fence assembly articulates on three axis and it's dropping on the out feed table and quick, repeatable, accurate set up is beyond me.
Am I missing something? Am I expecting more than this machine will do?
