    Height adjustment for rip fence?

    Is it possible to adjust the height of the rip fence? I just purchased and assembled a used BT3000 and the rip fence is about 1/8" to low on the front rail end, and thus when I'm sliding across the rails hits the main saw platform. I'm thinking that their must be some way to raise either the rails themselves, or the rip fence.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Something is wrong! There are only a couple of things that I can think of that can cause this..... check for correct installation of rails front and rear. ...... check to make sure your fence front block has the glides installed.

    On this site in the old articles section there are a couple of downloadable owners manuals if you do not have one.

        Thanks! Not sure what the problem was, but I took it apart and reassembled and it now lines up just fine.
