       lynnroy ,

               If the cam lock is not worn out and they can wear out you can adjust the two set screws that set the fence square . Adjust them equally closer to the square tube .

             hope this helps                    dusty

   This may sound silly but I have on occasion found that the tongue (part that clamps onto the rail) gets caught and when I put the fence back on it doesn't hold the fence like it should.

   By any chance is this the case with yours.  Sometimes it's the simple thangs that get ya!

   Yes exactly.  I glued a piece of emmory cloth on the clamp.  It seems to be working.  I am however disappointe in the delta porter-cable web site.  I cannot get it to work.  I am microsoft certified in windows, access and visual basic.  surely they can get that site fixed!

   If I recall mine has something on the caul/clamp piece that grips the rail when engaged.  Maybe that came off the caul?  There is an adjustment mentioned by Dusty also and the manual suggests to lubricate th eclamping mechanism regularly.

   I'm not in the woodshop right now and don't have the manual handy.  What are you looking for on their WEBsite?  Yes I agree it's a bit convoluted to navigate.

   I would be careful with any kind of abrasive on the clamp. If it rubs as you slide the fence, you will wear down the powdercoat.

   THanks.  Did not consider that.  I am heading to the shop to take off that abrasive.  It did work but your point is well taken.

   Old Dusty has it right. Adjust the set screws. The set screws adjust the angle of the fence top the blade as well as the tension of the cam. You want it to be so when you relaes the cam there is just enough tension to keep the fence from flopping around when you side it side to side. and when you tightn the cam you don't crush in the tube. It's a very subtle but simple adjustment. There is no need to put emery cloth or anything between the cam, toungue and fence tube.
