I'm having the same issue with my SMT miter fence. I removed it yesterday to recheck the slides and in the process discovered damage to the miter bolt slide channel where it tightens underneath the table. Apparently the harder steel bolt head digs into the softer aluminum over time. I can't get a good measurement of the indents, but my guess is that they are about 1/32 or so on BOTH sides of the channel. Don't know if this might be the same cause of Sailor's problems but it appears to be the culprit in my case. Now, how to fix? JBWeld, other suggestions?
I've taken a couple of pictures but haven't figured out how to paste them into this message.
