Then I set the plastic needle rip guide to 1 1/2" and tightened it with its two set screws.
Fence square to table with a 1/64th gap at top of fence which is okay for my purposes. Blade parallel to both miter slots and fence. That is too loose and you will notice the rails move when you lock down the fence.Īnyway, I squared up blade to table front and back of blade at zero bevel, and set zero bevel lock pin. I like it so I can roll the fence with the knob but tight enough that you cannot push the fence back and forth easily with one finger. There is a jam nut and spring nut to tighten/loosen tension of the fence lock underneath the table, and then just re-tighten the jam nut after finding the desired tension. It needed to be tightened because when you lock down the fence in the desired position the rack & pinion rails are not supposed to move. First off I calibrated everything out of the box, though everything was already almost perfect except the rail tension on the Fence lock. Its definitely the rails but they seem pretty clean other than what part of it that i cant see even when the rails are extended all the way.ĭoes anyone have experience with this? Or does anyone know how to remove the rails? I cant find a lot of information/guides online and dont want to misalign anything by taking random bolts out trying to take the rails off.I love my new DeWalt DWE749, especially the rack & pinion fence. I took the fence off to make sure it wasnt digging into the table causing the rough gliding and the fence isnt the problem. It doesnt glide nearly as free as it did during my first use. Today is about a week later and i go to use the saw again but realize the fence is very hard to move. Its pretty hard to remove, Im going to try some goo gone on it in tonight in attempt to clean it.Īlso while ripping the 2x10's, the fence would move on me when in locked positoin so I tightened the locking mechanism spring with the 2 bolts under the table. However I noticed a green sawdust residue left over on a lot of parts of my saw, including the table, riving knife and blade. I had some trouble getting through some of them but got the job done. Plus I checked the floor model at lowes and mine is way more aligned than theirs.Īnyways the first time i used it, I ripped a bunch of wet pressure treated pine 2x10's. The fence was not 100% square and the table was not 100% flat but im told jobsite saws have a level of acceptability from the manufactures thats lower than what you would expect from an expensive cabinet saw. I purchased a dewalt 7491 jobsite table saw recently and went through the process of tuning it and aligning it as best as i could.
