—if the blade was parallel with the miter slot

at 90° but not at 45°, one end of the table
will need to be shimmed higher with metal
shim stock.

9. loosen the three table mounting bolts.

10. refer to Figures 129–130 for shim place-

ment. if the distance of A is shorter than B,
shim(s) will need to be placed under corners
#1 and #2. if the distance of B is shorter than
A, shim(s) will need to be placed under cor-
ner #3. very thin shim stock works well.
