Kapex Table not flat

[Serge]

Do you use the 260mm Kapex blades or a  10" 254mm blade ?

I tried more test cuts today, but still unable to get a clean cut through when doing a miter cut. Same as before, if i miter left, the right piece is not clean; and if i miter right, the left piece is not clean. I made sure that nothing is blocking the slide. I am using the stock blade that came with the saw. Is there any blade adjustment i can make? I already tried adjusting the depth bolt.

Maybe you can post a picture of how far the blade goes back and down

I redid my measurement on a flat table over the weekend and still have the same problem. I took the Kapex back to leevalley and exchanged for another unit.  Did the same flatness test on the new Kapex table and it was flat across all miter angles. So, my first Kapex was definitely off.

I did some test cuts last night and noticed that i am not getting a complete through cut when cutting with a miter angle. See linked photo.

When i make a left 45 miter, the right piece of the cut leaves that little corner, but when i make a right 45 miter, the left piece leaves behind the little corner.  At 90, it cuts through fine.  I already tried lowering the blade depth a bit more with the adjusting the blade depth adjustment bolt. Am i missing something else?

Looking at the molding in the picture It should cut it with no problem
Are you sure that the depth stop thing is disengaged?

The depth stop is in the up position. Cutting at 90, both pieces are clean through. Only happens at miter angle cuts.  I'll try to take some pictures tonight of the blade position.
