In this video I demonstrate one of several approaches to set up and align a Minimax CU300 sliding table saw.
I am not suggesting this approach is 'the best' method, it is just one of many ways to accomplish the similar end results.
All of the concepts and some techniques presented are applicable to any make or model of sliding table saw, such as Felder, Hammer, Altendorf, Martin,....
One last note: The tolerances I discuss in this video, like thousandths of an inch, are probably overkill for woodworking machine setup. This isn't precision metal working. Solid wood starts shrinking and expanding right after you cut it so don't worry too much about getting really low numbers.
I hope you found at least one concept useful in the video. Please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question. If you. liked the video, please indicate so by clicking on the 'thumbs up' icon.
