only had one so far but this older SCM has great adjustment possible and its dead on with on and off. LIkely the same way as the full size largest models of the time.

Hi Derek - Who manufactures the cam holddown in your last photo of this post? I have the Felder holddown for my Hammer C3 [it is a beast], yours appears different. Thanks, Rich M.
Rich, I am not sure that this will help ...

Thanks Derek , I'll check it out....
Just to re-clarify my previous post. My Minimax CU300 does have an adjustment meant to allow removal and replacement of the outrigger and outrigger fence, but there is a tiniest bit of slop in the bearing collar used for registering the fence. Results in about 1mm width difference along an 8' cut depending on how much forward pressure you exert on the fence when you tighten it down.

mark when the fence goes back on this one the fit is very tight. This saw is likely 30 years old and had a ton of use before I got it. There is no play. I wonder if they use the same system still. The slider set up on this one is the most primitive of all their saws. I think I saw it in an episode of the Flintstones. Still it works nicely and is light years past what I used before.

As someone else mentioned, I think this is very saw specific. The `front` position on my saw is the only position that works for variable angle cross-cuts (with the compex). The `back` position is for 90 degrees only, so I keep the fence in the `front` position. I find this position convenient if nothing else.
