Can we talk about how I was setting my miter saw fence wrong for a whole year
I was cutting some 1x4 pine for a shed shelf and the ends kept coming out a hair off square. My buddy came over, watched me push the board against the fence, and just said, 'You know the fence itself can shift, right?' I had no clue the whole stamped metal fence on my basic 10-inch saw could drift if the bolts weren't tight. Checked them and two were almost finger-loose. Has anyone else had a tool just slowly work itself out of true like that?

Oh man, that's a classic. It's not just the fence bolts you need to watch, it's the whole base plate the saw swivels on. Mine got a tiny bit of sawdust under it once and threw everything off. You really have to check the whole thing for square with a good speed square before any important cut.
