I have spent about three hours attempting to adjust the miter fence on my BT3100.
The directions on page 39 of the manual leave a lot to be desired. "Push left rear of miter table snugly against miter base as shown by arrow S in figure 56 and secure." Just exactly how does a person "secure" it? Tighten the hex nut? Tighten the screw? Tighten them both? Hold it with your hand while simultaneously holding the square against the blade and the fence with your second hand, leaving your third and fourth hands free to adjust the other screw while keeping the hex nut from moving?
I read the "three steps article" but was unable to figure it out. Got lost when it said that if your measurements were the same that the saw was aligned, leaving the left front screw loose.
The Kirby article about aligning the saw assumes a piece of MDF that I do not have, nor do I understand how to make one.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
