Every time I rip a long board on my craftsman clone I end up with about a 1/16 or more gap between the wood and the rip fence at the outfeed side of the blade. Why would this be? The wood is flush with the fence as it goes in, and the fence measure an even distance from the blade at both sides, so I assume it is parallel with the blade. This only thing I can think of is the riving knife is pulling the wood away from the blade. i can never seem to get the thing to stay directly behind the blade. It is always to the left and I have to give it a nudge so I can get the wood through.
