Old old post. But it came up on my initial search for this issue. The fix is
to take off the fence, make a "bridge" using 2 blocks on the ends of the fence
and judiciously nail the hump part with a 3 lb sledge. Trial and error. But
it will bring the edges back into alignment almost perfectly when you check
with a straightedge after each blow. I over bent it, but reversed the fence,
clamped it, hit it on the far end and got it back to spec.


Or do it the right way. Have it milled flat.

For not much more than the cost of a couple of cups of coffee for the
supervisor and the machinist that did the work, I got the fence for my
Delta miter saw milled perfectly flat at a local machine shop.
