Just bought a DF500 and was pleased to find that the plastic centerline cursor was already dead-on.  Unfortunately, the  plastic stop latches (or edge stop dogs) that spring out of the face of the tool were slightly off.  I replaced one of them with the provided offset latch to solve the problem and it did improve it to within about 0.01 inches or 0.25 mm but I can still see and feel a slight offset or misalignment on the edge of my 2 joined boards.  My question is, can I do anything to get it dead on accurate or is this a margin of error I should plan to live with?
 
I cut one board using the narrow setting and the other with the next wider setting. This way, extreme accuracy isn't necessary. There is enough side to side movement to get the boards perfectly aligned and not sacrifice any strength.
