If you want to adjust the wing with the table, you should be using a

True. I was just looking to get some idea how obvious the difference is
with a level, because, well, because the idea occurred to me at the time
basically.

If you are concerned about the wing sagging or riding high out at the
ends you should use a long, accurate straight edge and reference off
the table. Better would be two used as winding sticks to see if one
corner is higher.


I'm actually concerned about the wing being machined wrong. It's flush at
the edge, but it seems like the far end is too high, or some of the
surfaces of the waffle pattern were not ground down to the same plane as
the edges. I'm having trouble figuring out which is which. If the wing is
flat all the way around, then maybe the edge of the wing or the edge of the
saw needs touching up or shimming, but if it's a high spot, then I guess I
need to think about grinding it down.
