Power Tools: Calibrating Festool Table Saw to Absolute Accuracy 

And thank you for watching. You gave me more motivation to make more videos like these.

Thanks. That's good to know

Good tip - thanks!

Sedge talks about this often

Hi @LDBecker, thank you for watching my video. Under the slider, there is a wedge on both sides, the adjustment screw is to pull or push the wedge to lower or lift the slider, once you tighten up the screw on top of the slider, the adjustment screw is no longer relevant, you can just tighten it back a little to secure it so it wont loose. As for the caption, I might have miss-typed the screw driver size in the caption. Thank you once again.

@@HansMasterCraft I finally got mine dialed in. I had to shim the black adjustment plates UNDER the sliding table to make the sliding table level. It, like some have found, was sloping down a bit on the side. With that done, and redoing all the other adjustments (height of sliding table to be just a HAIR proud of the table so the miter fence doesn't drag on the stationary table), rechecking the rip fence to make sure it's parallel, and making sure the blade was at 90deg). It's great now! I also added the Benchdog miter fence - what a nice addition to the CSC SYS 50. Thanks again for posting this. It got me motivated to get it dialed in.

@@LDBecker I'm glad it works out for you. Benchdog miter fence is one of the accessories in my shopping list. Happy woodworking!

Fence on European saws I have and use are ever so slightly “toed” to clear the blade teeth at the rear, Safety feature (reduces binding) that DOES NOT affect cutting accuracy since ONLY leading (nearest) teeth do the cutting.

⁠@@LDBeckercan you please describe the shimming of the black plates under the slide table? I have the same issue :(

Thank you for watching my video. The slider on this table saw has a little concave, I dont know how much, but it doesnt seem to impact the accuracy of the cut at all, as long as the slider is level to the table top.

Thanks for the comment. The slider was already calibrated with the blade, so I wanted the fence to align with the blade as well. For this particular saw, if you know any trick to calibrate the fence perpendicular with the blade, please let me know.

@HansInstruments same as any table saw. Choose a tooth on the blade, move the fence to a random distance away from the blade and measure the distance between the tooth nearest you and the fence. Move that tooth to the back and measure again. If sized match, you good to go. If not adjust the fence till measments match

Thanks for the comment. That was just for the alignment, when I rip cut, I use the rip fence (not together with the crosscut fence) and Microjig gripper to minimize the kickback.
