Hi-
I have a Minimax sc4e slider (bought used a year ago) and lately I haven't been too pleased with the quality of the cut.
Today I clamped a dial indicator to the carriage and measured the parallelism of the blade and fence relative to the path of the carriage.
The blade skews to the right, that is, the back edge of the blade is 0.012" further from the carriage than the front.
(Measuring the un-ground portion of the blade raised to max height -- a span of about 8.25")
The fence also skews to the right, but at a shallower angle: only about .007 along the same span (0.036" for the whole length of the fence extrusion)
So: it seems like the blade should be parallel to the slider path, no? Does anyone know how this is adjusted? I don't see this in my manual.
Thanks,
Chris.
