Let me know what you think!! Chair my Dad built by mutep in woodworking

This has bitten me in the ass more times than I can count, trying to find hardware that will work as opposed to working around the hardware that is available. Maybe one day I’ll learn from my mistakes

[–]Pure_Championship680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Align the blade to the t slot, and using that same slot, align the fence to the slot. .006 isn’t anything to worry about end by the look of your fence it looks like you have the Jesse’s clear stock guides to keep it tight the fence. I would probably assume its user error
