CSC SYS 50 Cuts Square, but not 45

[Aburk808]

Aloha,

I recently bought a CSC SYS 50 and finally got it tuned up where all my pieces are square, even using the miter gauge! However, I can’t get good miter joints on it when using the locking fence for my taller pieces that I want to use for boxes. It’s not clicking in my head as to why and how I could fix this… because I shouldn’t have to adjust the angle that much to correct my 45s… but maybe I do? Anyone else have experience with this and a work around? Perhaps a nice YouTube video I just haven’t been able to find?

More and more these toy like tools are expected to be on par with higher level tools and they just aren’t…to make them work as such you need to be handy and inventive and sometimes rely on 3rd party’s to provide the fix

Did you double check that the slider runs parallel to the blade? Because technically you can still get 90 if it's toed towards or away from the miter gauge, but the second you put an angle on the gauge, it's going to drift that degree amount.
