ts 75 - should the riving knife have some play to it?

[Knottys]

Hi Everyone,

just picked up a ts 75 and now that I'm playing around with it i noticed some play on the riving knife, is that normal or should it be firm?

what type of clamps should it come with for the rail  the screw ones or the ratchet ones?

Thanks

The riving knife is spring loaded so it might have some play in it but not enough to clause any alignment issues.  The rails don't come with clamps.
