That sounds good (and easy)! It sounds just like the procedure in my 
radial saw manual, where you rotate the arm with the arbor lightly 
scraping the table.

I've saved Alan's posts for later. They're a bit over my head for now, 
but I understand most of it. I figure if the pivoting presses are good 
enough for most work, this thing should be able to get straight 
enough. I'm considering incorporating some type of screws or shims in 
the tool holder to make it easier to tweak the alignment if need be.

PS - If Alan reads this- The camera technique is out of my league, but 
I got a "forbidden" error when going to look at those pictures. Not 
sure if others can see them. I'm on Opera 8.51 for Windows.
