I have a weird issue with my rip fence. It suddenly does not seem to sit on the rails right and does not slide easily.
I was making a new sill to replace some rotting window sills when this happened. At the start the fence was sliding left and right just fine -- it slides well enough that I could gently tap it with my finger to move it a hair line over. I took the fence off to do a long cross cut. I put the fence back onto the rail and noticed that the front wouldn't sit right on the rail anymore. When I do get it to sit, it sits really tight and I couldn't slide it left and right freely anymore. I had to use a lot more force to move it. I check the back and the back is loose and moving freely.
I have looked it over and the fence looks fine. I have never dropped or abuse it. I have tried cleaning it, and loosen and tighten various screws to no use. The puzzling part is that it was sliding freely right before I took it off. I'm a bit lost in what to look for next. Any wishdom is appreciated.
