HI All,
PM 66 5HP/1 phase finally came. I'm working on the set up now. So far, here are my questions:
1. What is an acceptable diagonal table flatness tolerance? Mine is .006" as measured by me and at the factory.
2. On extension wing had a dip in the center from front to back along the table saw edge of .005". Anything to sqawk about?
3. When setting up the wings, Bob had great info on using aluminum foil for shims and, it's hard to believe that one layer of foil could actually have that much effect. However, I've tinkered with it for probably too long. If it's off .002-.004, should the outside edge of the wing be proud or should it drop off?
4. To set up the Accufence the manual stipulates the rail edge to be 2 27/32 from the table top and says "this measurement is critical". That's a pretty exact measurement. The best adjustment I can get is about 1/16" lower than that. Should I ream out the holes in the table saw to get this up that much more or is this good enough?
5. The manual stipulates a 40 amp circuit with 10 gage wire going from the machine. There's several NEC regs that would affect this. But, I've run #8 to a junction box as my best interpretation of my situation. I need about a 14' run from that box to the saw. I'm thinking of using heavy rubber 600volt cord with #10 wire. This may be a technical electrician's question, but there is not a 40 AMP rated receptacle? There seems to be available a 30 amp or a 50 amp. Which should I use?
6. In the past, I've tried to set my saw up level and work from that. My floor is very slightly sloped for drainage. Is it acceptable to shim the machine to level? Is it advisable? Should I not mess with it? It just seems to make it easier in setting up out feed tables, etc.
7. For the blade to miter groove set up, what tolerance to parallel should be used?
Thanks
