: Hey Bill, I've got a 50" Biesemeyer fence on my Unisaw, and
: the built-in scale has been fine after I set it up. First, I
: used machinist square to ensure that the blade was perpindicular
: to the table. Then I used a runout gauge to ensure that the
: blade was parallel to the mitre slot, and then also parallel to
: the fence (which did need a tiny bit of adjustment)... then I
: put a square Whiteside brass 1/2" setup bar between a blade
: tooth and the fence, locked down the fence, and then set the
: adjustable stadia line on the fence to 1/2"... checked it
: with a few cuts... dead on

But it's also your saw and set up right. The one Stephen's using is the shop's saw, I'd never trust that rule.
