Default Aligning a Vega utility 50 fence

Yes, the "button" rides on the square rail attached to the back side of the
saw. A couple of other little hints/words of wisdom, Keep the rails (both
front and rear) clean and waxed for optimum performance. When adjusting the
fence to a new line/position, hold the locking/tee square portion against
the rail and toward yourself. This is the position the fence locks into,
and will eliminate any cocking of the fence as you lock it into position.



This makes perfect sense, as I expect the allen head bolts are class
8 and would very easily be capable of digging and dimpling the
extruded alum fence material. I have some small washers about the
house and will try this if my next attempt is not successful.

I am quite impressed with the micro adjust feature.

One other question is where is the "button" on the back of the fence
supposed to ride? Along the edge of the table causing the fence to
"float just above, or on the rear rail or? The diagrams show it on
the table and using washers to shim, but it does not make a whole lot
of sense to me as of yet.

Thanks
