The SHOP FOX ® W1716/W1720 Aluma-Classic™
Fence requires little adjustment since most of
the features are built in at the factory. The pri-
mary adjustment is to position the fence so it is
parallel to the saw blade.
If your table saw has been properly adjusted,
the saw blade should be parallel to the miter
slot. Refer to your table saw manual for the
proper procedure to check and adjust the saw
blade to the miter slot correctly.
To adjust the SHOP FOX ® Aluma-Classic™
Fence parallel with the miter slot, do these
steps:
1. UNPLUG THE TABLE SAW!
2. Align the edge of the fence with the edge
of the miter slot.
3. Lock the fence and check the alignment
between the left edge and the miter slot.
4. Adjust the setscrews shown in Figure 13 to
adjust the angle of the fence. Note— The
left setscrew will move the fence left and
the right setscrew will move the fence
right.
5. Adjust the fence until the back end falls
1 ⁄
64
" away from the miter slot so the work-
piece clears the opposite end of the saw
blade without binding. This is called “lead”
(pronounced leed).
