: You can use a drafting triangle to set the blade square to the table, but you

: fence made out of folded sheet metal, and it wasn't square. If you held

: much pressure towards the fence the cut came out unsquare.

Good Point David. And when you use that square to check your blade, be sure and do it from both sides and get it "between" the teeth and not "on" one. About 75% ( just guessing of course ) of the store bought squares, if not " High Dollar," are not. ( square, that is ) But, that's another story, for another day.
