Has anyone had trouble with the fence being perpendicular to table?

Yes. It is a pain. I really struggle to understand why it's engineered that way.

No, I use a machinist's 90 degree magnet to set the fence to the bed and tighten both knobs.

Very carefully. It took my husband and I the better part of a day to get the fence up. Take a deep breath and be prepared to have a lot of patience. I literally took it a piece at a time and unraveled it. If it was too tall at the top i'd start there and work my way down if too long at the bottom I'd try to start there and work my way up. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer, it wasn't easy. I wish I had never bought mine. Not happy with it.

My table has not been unstable--maybe it wasn't put together properly. It wasn't easy to put together.

It sounds like you may not have squared the fence to the stop to start with. Loosen the bolts in the fence and adjust before adjusting the indicator.

Yes it does. The only issue I have is the plate that attaches the fence to the locking handle plate is proud of the table

Hmmm I am trying to pic this in my head...I have never had a problem getting all pieces to meet where they should. have you tried it on another type of table? Does the piece that goes up and down and lock move properly?

The fence on mine is not warped. I just checked it using a 4 foot aluminum straight edge across the length and both diagonals. It appears to be very straight.

The only adjustable portion of the wedge is the tapered ridges for the hole in the table. If the diameter of your pole is greater than the smallest hole on the bottom of the wedge, then it will not work for you.

I am sorry to say that I sent it back. Never even got to try it out. the reason is that some of the screws that hold the legs to the underside of the table were striped as the holes were also larger to show that it could be a problem. So sorry and good luck..

Well, I cannot say whether it was a manufacturing error or not. Yes, there is this gap between the back bulging legs of the table and the wall, causing the gap. When assembled, since I liked it so much I have lived with the gap! However, a console table should fit flush, I agree.

Mine was bad enough so that if I placed a straight edge across (not lengthwise) the outfeed table it would rock significantly. It didn't matter where I put the straight edge across--it would till rock. The tech support person who came to my house said that it was bad enough to call the unit unusable.

So far I have not had any issues, I have a 6' Stockade fence but the gate is made from pressure treated 2x4's that are covered on both sides with T1-11 8 in. On-Center Fir Plywood Siding. The gate is heavy but moves well with these wheels. I mounted the 4x4 so its bottom is higher then the pivot point on the wheel avoiding the rotational problem. I also put slate down where the wheels move to provide a smoother surface.

One side of mine works great, the other not at all. I haven't tried to fix it yet, but I expected to have problems with this from reading reviews before I bought it. Still a good table, and just use the manual scoring on the side.

Don't know if I will be of much help for you but I mounted my Vega fence to a Grizzly table saw. Everything worked great, wholes lined up and I love that fence. Should have done it years ago but did not come across a Vega and just couldn't justify spending $400 or so dollars on one of the other fences.Bruce

The tines are rounded and run the same direction as the hook so if the idea is to have the hook be perpendicular to the fence, it won't be flush.

Lowell check the spacing on the rails for the fence and see if they line up to your Hitachi table. Check both front and back where the guide rails would need to be installed. If the spacing is correct there is a good chance this fence system would work. Bg

Hi James. It's been a while since I assembled the tables. I recall that the trick for me was to use two screwdrivers, holding the metal hardware from both sides in order to get things to line up correctly.
