Unisaw Tuneup

I have a 15 year old Delta Unisaw and it's time for an adjustment of
the blade. The only information I can find on the web is to loosen
the 4 screws that attach the table to the cabinet, adjust the blade to
parallel the miter slot, then retighten the bolts.

I remember when I last made the adjustment that it wasn't quite that
easy.

Any tips or websites?

A popsicle stick and a short length of dental floss.

I'm not too awfully sure about that. I've found that with
floss alone, there's always the need for a crusty booger
or two.

That's going to require some precision measuring devices
and some time.

You should adjust blade to miter slot.

You should then adjust fence to blade.

if you don't brush your teeth for a few days beforehand, the floss
will be sticky enough by itself....
