msschm and Larry: I clamped the dial indicator to the crosscut sled

ALIGNMENT with the sled by .008", How can this be, I ask when the
blade is within .0005 to the left-hand miterslot?

So I check Leon's suggestion and test the alignment of the right side
miter slot. Guess what, it's out by .011. There must have been enough
slack in the left-hand slot that the crosscut sled is tracking mostly
to the right-side miter slot.

==================
Major reason to construct a sled using only one miter slot...
That is what I have been doing for years ...out of laziness I must
admit..
