Step 6Adjustment for the rails
This is the photo of the rear support holding the angle iron rails in place. Notice the two Tee nuts for screws. They come up from the bottom of the saw guide's table. The holes in the table are elongated so the rear support can be moved side to side 1/8 to 1/4 inch. This is for fine adjustment to insure that the rails are square to the fence and the cut will be square. Notice also that the Tee nuts and screws are well out of the way of the blade's path.
About the time I first made this saw guide a friend was making a butler's table for his wife. He used solid black walnut. He had only a Shopsmith table saw for his saw. Rightly so, he was concerned about getting the top of his butler's table square. I told him about my saw guide. The guide's table was more than large enough for his table top. We held our breath and made the cuts. Then he measured diagonally between opposite corners to check for square. The difference between the two measurements was less than 1/16 of an inch. He was satisfied. I was pleased.
