Well, I've had my BT3100 for about a year now. As my woodworking has progressed from rough carpentry toward furniture, I've gotten more picky about the accuracy of my saw. One of the things that bugged my was the miter fence slipping out of square easily. I tried gluing sand paper the the bottom, etc. Kept doing it. Eventually, I started clamping the fence down with an F clamp.
I finally put a straight edge across the miter table and discovered a crown in the middle, just at the slot for the fence bolt. I called Ryobi and they sent me a new table, no problem. It just came last week. I put a straight edge across it and guess what? Same crown.
Does anybody know if this is an on-purpose design feature? It would seem to explain why the fence won't stay put. I hate to bug Ryobi again, especially If I'm just being dense.
Thanks, Eddy
