I purchased a new to me industrial SawStop a few months ago. I just now was able to get it into my shop due to all the snow. Anyway i purchased it in pieces for a smoking deal. It had a problem with the blade not wanting to raise or lower but that was a easy fix.
Anyway i got into my shop and setup today and all went well except one small detail. The main table is flat as can be as are the two cast iron side extension tables on their own. However after putting the extension tables on the top has some dish with the low spot being at the blade. A four foot level spanning the width of the table indicates about a 1/16 gap at the blade that peters out to nothing by the end of the two extension tables. The gap actually goes away about half way through the extension tables on either side.
On another forum i posted this same topic. It was suggested even very very expensive machines require shimming. From what i can figure if i shimmed the saw in a manner to resolve the issue i would put a shim between the the main table and extension tables left and right. My best figuring this would mean a substantial gap on the top of my table either side of the primary table.
thoughts?
is this like a deal breaker or will the saw function fine?
Oh and how do I post pictures?
