How do you set your sliding table relative to the fixed table on your sliding tablesaw?
I have the Grizzly G0623X. After a few months I am starting to get comfortable with the different ways that I have to work with this saw. One difficulty that I was having occurred when I was using a hold down clamp on the sliding table. When I would slide the table up to and past the blade, there was some resistance to the table movement. Looking at the sliding table I could see that the top surface was maybe 1/16" (+-) below the cast iron main table. When the workpiece was clamped down to the sliding table, it would bind against the fixed table as the sliding table was moved forward. This is the way it was set from the factory, I had not changed it, and the manual does not have any instruction as to how this should be set. My feeling was that the sliding table should be set exactly level with the fixed table. So that is what I tried to do.
So I guess what I am asking is, how did you set your sliding table relative to the fixed table, and why? Is there any reason to have the sliding table below or above the fixed cast iron table on the saw?
