Hi all
In the course of setting up my new PM66 I checked the blade to miter slot
alignment: was ~ .015 out. After aligning blade and miter slot to about
.002, the resultant blade postion was slightly less than 1/16" of the right
side of the stock throat plate slot and about 1/4" of the left side with a
thin kerf blade installed...not centered in the throat plate as the manual
states it should be. The top can't slide any further to the right so as to
get the blade centered in the throat plate slot. Don't know if its really a
problem but seems pretty close.
Going to call PM tech support but was curious if anyone else has had this
situation
Thanks
Joe
Thanks
Yeah that whats I'm going to do anyway, never liked factory plates. Their
tech support described the adjustment to set the arbor a little deeper which
solved the problem also.

I'd probably just make a zero clearance plate, and then not worry
about. The factory supplied plate opening is so wide anyhow.
