    Fence Tilt

    My newly purchased fence (BT3000) tilts towards the rear and does not slide smoothly. Any way to adjust this? Is the small wheel replaceable? Thanks

    Welcome! Can you show a picture of this tilt? Something sounds like its not seating properly. I have this problem when the clamper at the rear of the fence is on the rail instead of under it...

        Something Doesn't sound right. Either your front or rear rail are not mounted correctly, or, your rip fence is not mounted correctly. It should not tilt and there will be constant, small and even clearance between the bottom of the rip fence and the table top.

        If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          Mystery solved. The previous owner had the rear rail incorrectly installed. All is well. Thanks to all!
