Default Rip fence not square with table

If you ever cut thick material with a rabbet on the upper side against the

the fence rule to set its distance from the blade.


Yes, that's what I did. I had some thick stock up against the fence to
cut rabbets in it and that's when I noticed how imperfect it was. I
can take a picture and post in to ABPW. The gap is enough to be seen
with a square flat on the table and up against the fence.

Maybe I'm looking for squareness in something that's not expected to
have it?

I probably should have built Frank Klausz' tenon jig...that would have
kept the work square to the table.
