I read 'blade drift' to mean the blade was not cutting where it was
pointed at. This can be caused by a crooked or bent bade, a blade with
too much pressure on the rear bearing, too little blade tension, or the
workpiece is not flat or warped, the cut closes as it is cut, any number
of things besides the fence. If you cannot hold the piece against and
follow the fence, t is not a blade problem


You probably read correctly.
