Folks,

I've got a DeWat DW720 Radial Arm (for those in the US, DeWalt Europe are
still making RASs, undoubtedly not the same as the old ones though).
Anyhow, I'm having great difficulty getting the supplied MDF table to be
parallel with the arm. Since I use the saw a lot to make tenons, this is a
bit of a problem!

I recently spent a good hour adjusting and tightening the various bolts &
such, and got it so on a 15cm wide plank I had a difference of 1mm in cut
depth front to back. This obviously leads to wonk mortice & tenon joints..
Anyone got any good tips on setting the table up properly?

TIA

I have a 720 and although it's relatively OK getting the blade square & perpendicular to the table, unlike earlier De Walt models the 720 doesn't have adjustment bolts on the yoke to set up lateral or vertical heel. The manual gives little explanation. Any ideas anyone? Thanks
