So I'm assembling my new Unisaw that comes with the extension table and 50" Unifence and I start to looking at the fence. It doesn't look like it is 50" long. I get out the tape measure and sure enough it isn't. It's only 43" long. Is this another of those industry standard things like a 2x4 isn't really 2 inches by 4 inches?
I don't understand where the 50" measurement comes from. Can someone enlighten me?
I have tried searching for tips on setting up my saw. I found great tips on getting the blade aligned with the miter slots but nothing for the Unifence itself. Any suggestions?
(This is my first table saw. I been using a radial arm saw for years for cross cutting as well as ripping.)
Thanks, Jim
