I assembled this saw a few months ago. I used a C-clamp (like the assembly
instructions say), but I placed a block of wood on the underside. The metal
clamp will hold the top flush, while the wood on the underside will
compress, keeping pressure on both pieces evenly. Repeat this for each bolt,
moving the clamp as close to the bolt as possible, and the top extensions
come out very nice.

Hi Jerry and to all others:

Thanks for the nice suggestions. I like the idea of the block. I
also followed the instructions and got the very nearalignment. Sounds
like the wood block might do the trick.

I got a Grizzly 1022 several years ago. I couldn't get one of the stamped
wings to align for anything. Griz tech support & I worked out a solution:
I upgraded to cast iron wings for the difference in price and 1/2 the
shipping. ;-) No regrets. You may not have that option...
