Spent 4 hours fixing a miter saw fence that was off by 2 degrees
I was trying to cut crown molding for a kitchen in Arlington and kept getting gaps at the corners. Took me way too long to realize my miter saw fence was out by almost 2 degrees from when I bumped it moving jobsites. Had to shim it with some beer can aluminum to get it square again. Anyone else deal with their saw losing calibration after a rough ride in the truck?

Yeah torquing the bolts in sequence is good advice but on these cheaper saws the casting is so soft that over tightening will strip them out fast. I learned that the hard way on a jobsite saw years ago. What did you end up torquing yours to? I'm wondering if the bolts even hold up over time with all the vibration from moving between jobs, especially in a truck bed like mine. How many times have you had to re shim or adjust yours since you first did it?
