Note: It is permissible for the back of the
fence to pivot outward
1
⁄64" from being paral-
lel with the blade (see Figure 122 on Page
70# Many woodworkers intentionally set up
their fence in this manner. This creates a
slightly larger opening between the fence
and the rear of the blade to reduce the risk
of workpiece binding or burning as it is fed
through the cut. Keep this in mind before
adjusting your fence.
