I tried using the RTS self centering guide for the first time today on the Domino XL. I went through the calibration procedure and have run out of adjustment. It will not even get all the way to the center mark on the base. The best I can get it is a 0.88 mm offset so I need another 0.44 mm of adjustment. I have checked the window center of the Domino and it is dead on. Using the Festool Trim Stop, I can't even get my fingernail to catch on the joint.
Here are some pictures;
Top is trim stop, bottom is SCG

Shows perfect joint using Trim Stop adjusted to window markings

Need to move the SCG left but it is hard up against the mounting screws. (BTW - the centering plates are not causing this problem)
[attachimg=#]
I need to move the SCG more to the left to make it centered. It looks like I could loosen the cable clamps to and move the mechanism to restore the adjustment but, I shouldn't have to do this on a brand new accessory and this procedure isn't discussed in the owners manual. I had great hopes for this accessory but, unless this issue gets resolved, it is going back.
Any help would be appreciated.
