I've been tweaking up my new-to-me table saw (see recent gloat), going through all the adjustments and making sure everything in on spec, straight, square, parallel and all that.
The cast iron top is in three pieces. The main piece with the saw blade hole, and a wing each on the left and right. There are 3 bolts holding each wing to the make section.
When I check with a straight edge (yes, it's straight), the right wing is in line and coplanar with the center section. When I check the left wing, it is a little higher on it's outside than where it meets the center section. see diagram:
Do they make shims for this purpose? What would you suggest?
Off the top of my head, I have a couple ideas...
1) sand the bottom of the edge of the wing, until it pulls in enough to be coplanar. B) shim the top of the edge of the wing with paper, until it pushes out enough to be coplanar.
