My SMT fence has become quite unstable over the years. It rocks and moves at the slightest opportunity. I start a cut and by the time I complete it the fence is at a slightly different angle resulting in a few thou of material being taken off the leading edge of the stock by the trailing edge of the blade. To be clear this is not an SMT alignment problem, the fence is moving regardless how tight I clamp it and how careful I am feeding the stock. I don't see any obvious damage to the fence, the clamp or the pivot dowel.
I'm sure this has been answered but I cannot find it. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?
I'm beginning to think that there is fundamental design flaw in the way the fence is secured.
