Festool CSC SYS 50 fence out of square

[fishblimp]

Hi,

I noticed that my fence, when being locked into place, goes out of square on the far end.
Is anyone else or has anyone else had this issue?

What's odd is that that I did a test cut of a 435mm piece of baltic birch, and the difference in width on the two opposite ends have a difference of only .05mm.

Some table saw users deliberately set the fence "out" at the far end to minimize the chances of kickback.

On my PCS, the fence is set parallel to the miter slot; no toe out.

It is disconcerting to see that the fence is not parallel to the edge of the main table but it does seem to be parallel to the blade (or very nearly so) which is far more important.

saw blade [23]  EN-CA

There's one grub screw [23-1] that tilts the far end left and right.

edit: Unlike a standard table saw, everything is designed to be reference from the saw blade.  Front tape is for distance, but the far end of the fence is unconstrained other than the blade start/stop are equidistant from the blade.  The sliding table can also be tilted to be parallel with the blade.
