My Bt3000 rip fence is giving me some heartburn. When I used it last year, it was perfectly working. Tried to use it last week and for some reason the rip fence isn't locking down firmly. I can push the locking handle all the way down but the fence is still not completely tight. In the past, I was only able to push the locking handle partly down and the fence would be locked tight.
I opened up the rear end of the fence and nothing is amiss or stuck - the spring, rod, etc. are fine. When I push down on the locking handle the clamper on the rear moves a little but does not hug the rails.
What else should I be examining and tweaking? Appreciate any pointers.
