I recently sold my woodworking shop with Delta machinery in Hawaii and moved to Colorado. I’m currently outfitting a new shop and decided to go with Laguna machinery. Just received Resaw Master bandsaw, cyclone dust collector, 8″ jointer, and dovetail 10″ tablesaw. Just now setting up the machinery and adjusting all. If anyone has experience with the tablesaw, I’d appreciate some advice: The fence is quite different than my previous unisaw fence and I’m having trouble adjusting it. I lign the fence to cut a certain width but when I torque the locking handle the fence tweeks slightly to the side. When I release the locking handle it moves back over about 1/8″. The manual is pretty vague. What adjustment do I need to make to keep it from moving out of adjustment when I lock the handle? Thanks much.

There are a couple of set screws for adjustment that should help.
Set Screws
Thanks for your comment. You seem to be familiar with the Laguna tablesaw. After only a few days of nominal use on the new Laguna saw I observed slight scratches on the top of the fence rail bar. The plastic or silicon "buttons" that slide along the top of the bar seem to be scratching. Would you consider athis normal or would you have advice on how to rectify this problem? Thanks much for your help.
I'm familiar with that type of fence. Those "marks" are caused by the nylon pad that rides along the table top...it shouldn't really cause scratching, as they shouldn't actually cut into the cast iron table. Definitely normal for that style fence, and nothing to be concerned about IMO. The pad rides on the table top to allow for an outfeed table along the back rail. I've seen some similar fences with a footpad that rides along the rear rail instead of the table top, but those make an outfeed table harder to install.
