I have the older model Rikon(2005) bandsaw and the fence is not at 90% to the
table. The table has been adjusted to be at 90% to the blade but when I move the
fence to the blade the top part of the fence touches the blade before the
bottom. I don't see any adjustments for this alignment. The fence seems good but
I have heard of people changing it out for another fence. Is anyone using a
non-rikon fence on there bandsaw?
Thanks.

It looks like it is 1/8 out of alignment at the bottom of the fence.
Thanks, Leon you fixed the problem.

I did own the later model Rikon 18" saw and if the fences are the same I
recall 4 small set screws that I believe you adjust to square the fence to
the blade up and down.
