... chop saw will not typically have a fine adjustment. On a Morso you can do this by
tweaking the left fence. I made a setup that uses two saws. Firmly fixed to a bench. The right-hand one stays put, but the
left-hand one can be skewed slightly . With a bit of experimentation you can eliminate any ...

... instruction on Lionpic but the same thing happens. I have adjusted the left fence slightly to compensate, but it is still not brilliant.

First thing to do is set the fences so they are dead in line. Cut ...
