I purchased one of these jigs years back. Spent some time over weekend cleaning it up.
Then tried it out and frankly right now i think this is a piece of Junk.
I had Carols words ringing in my ears again. So many adjustments ....a marketing mans dream.
This is a model 34-183. Same unit that Grizzly and Woodtek put out.
Its supposed to sit flat but rocks on the table saw.
Mathias over at woodgears did a review
https://woodgears.ca/tenon/review.html
Confirmed my own findings.
Now i am wanting to find out if anyone here has had any better luck with this jig.
Any tips anyone has as to how to tweak it. Its supposed to be "made in USA" right now it feels like it came out of harbor freight.
After all the clean up and adjustment work that i put into it i would like to get it working properly.
Going to have to take it apart again and try some sort of shim on the base but where?.
Might even look at an Incra bar to use in place of the junk that came with it.
In hindsight i feel i might have been better off making my own.
Can anyone offer me some insight i feel like i must be missing something.
