Biesemeyer fences are usually dead-on out of the box. That is, the
T-Square head and fence are exactly 90° perpendicular.

Hmm...I must have the "unusual" Bies--it is neither perfectly straight,
nor is is perpendicular to the table. And there isn't enough movement
in the rail's attachment bolt holes to make up the difference so that
the fence face comes into perpendicularity. I've learned to ignore the
dished leading portion of the left face, and I also ignore then lack of
perfection in the perpendicularity. I also ignore the lack of
perfection in the flatness of the table. When it was new I was
concerned about all that stuff, but now I see the world still spins and
I can cut wood as accurately as I need, and I'm pretty damn fussy.
