Setting Domino 500 fence to 90

[MChang]

My domino is older and I am having trouble getting the fence to 90. I removed the stop and it still won't go to 90, then I removed the threaded knob completely that holds it in place and it still will not go to 90. I am using a Starrett square and lowering the blade down to the bottom of the square on my table saw top then holding this against the small./short face the bit comes out of. Does appear to be overly dirty or covered in saw preventing movement.

Appreciate any suggestions vs sending it in for $60/hr repair which is gue4ss is not too bad these days.

Thanks.

What do you have your thickness gauge set at (the slider on the left side)? If it is on the lowest setting and you actually have the fence down lower around 6mm, it will bump the frame of the fence. Of course, this is useless to point out if you have it on a height setting greater than 6mm

Starret squares as good as they are need checking for accuracy now and then. Sometimes a 123 block is a better gauge to use instead of a square or even as a check for a suspect square.

Any more feedback on this from the original poster?

This seems to be a case where "a picture is worth 1,000 words" or even more than that, if a remote diagnosis is to be trusted.
