Delta Cabinet Unisaw Alignment
Good day to all!
I purchased a Forrest WW2 blade at the last WW Show I attended and thought that it would be a good time to check the alignment of my miter slot to the blade. Forrest recommends <2 mils front to back (of the same tooth on the blade); I have about 5.5 mils (as measured with a TS-Aligner).
Before I just go crazy and loosen the nuts holding the table on, do you have any advise for me? I know this isn't rocket science but surely there must be some secrets out there.
Following getting this set, I will then tackle the fence to miter slot to the fence, but one thing at a time.
Thanks!

Mike, Ken, Jamie, David, Russ and Jim,
Thank you all for your suggestions. I loosened the bolts up and very quickly went from 5 mils to 30! It did take a bit of fiddling (and the help of a former submariner friend of mine who can figure anything out) and I am now down to 2 mils. As he pointed out, I am cutting wood not making nuclear weapons.
This is a great forum and I really appreciate the help. You were all right on with your suggestions. Thanks again.
Best wishes to all!
Warren
