Table Saw Setup - Steve
Does your tablesaw spray you in the face with dust from the back of the blade? If the answer is yes, then you need to set the fence parallel to the blade.
With the blade up all the way and the saw unplugged, measure the distance between a tooth edge and the fence edge at the front of the saw, and mark that tooth with a felt pen. (Keep the fence locked for this test.)
Then rotate the blade using that same tooth to the back of the saw and check the distance between the fence and that same marked tooth. These distances should be the same, if not adjust your fence accordingly. Adjustment screws are usually at the front of the fence.
Unlock your fence before adjusting it.
A small movement makes a big difference.
