The fence was.760 and the angle is now.240 = 1.000. My fence was out the other way.
I measured the width from the angle to the fence surface. It measured 1.045.
I just received my cutoff fence and assembled it to the instructions. The fence does have an adjustment screw to correct this, but it is to adjust the out of square in only one direction.
That was a little to much for me. I then took my toolmakers square and found out that the aluminum angle was out of square.
To make a long story short I removed the angle and sanded it square and to the right thickness on my delta 12" with 80 grit paper. One thing I forgot to mention, after you drill the fence material make sure you counter sink the holes so when you mount the angle that it sits real flat.
All the good stuff you will read about this product is true. My only gripe is that I think I just paid $20.00 for the cut off stop and the rest of this month's salary for the name.
This is not a review. Instead of taking you to the 78-939 Cut-Off Stop for T-Square Fences product manual, it takes you instead to the Biesemeyer T-Square Miter Saw Table Instruction Manual. This is just a bit of information for a potential buyer who may be looking for additional information on the 78-939 Cut-Off Stop product. The link on this product description page, to the PDF product manual is wrong. This is kind of sad since I was interested in obtaining a lot more information about the Cut-Off Stop than was given in the sparse product description. I gave the product 3 stars because I had to rate this item to get the review published and I didn't want to be unfair.I informed Amazon about this problem months ago but I see that nothing has changed.
I've been delaying buying this for years, but finally did it. I have been very happy with it's performance so far. Much easier than clamping a scrap on the fence.
It scores for function and safety but I had to remove excess paint to make it parrallel to the fence. This also improved the thickness dimension from over 1-1/32" to 1-1/64". It should be considered an essential tool for safety. I had the bruises to prove it after years of dumb luck.
