setting ZERO on old tablesaw?

Hi, folks,

I have inherited what seems to be a fairly decent old Craftsman
contractors-style table saw. The one thing that I haven't been able
to tune up is the stop for setting the blade at 90 degrees. Needless to
say, it gets old fast having to double-check it all the time.

Any suggestion on how I can adjust this?

Thanks!

DS

I'm guessing there would be a screw on the front trunion.

Possibly you can find the manual here

Even if there isn't an adjustable shim, you could certainly add one.

My Delta has been holding settings for more than twenty years, but I still
check prior to a critical cut. Someday it'll be off, I suppose.

My old Delta had a small hole on the table top surface, that was
covered with dirt. Once I knew where to look, and cleaned it out, I
was able to adjust the zero setting.
