Hi Guys,

I got one of these recently and i don't think it's calibrated properly...

It has a "Calibrated Depth Adjustment Knob for accurate depth setting and eliminating the need to re-zero your depth"

but set at zero, it takes a cut all along the length of a board and i'm getting a slight arc - the end are probably 1/32 lower than the center on a 18 inch board.

Would have though that at 0 it would be only skimming off bumps and i'd get a perfectly flat cut...?  Surely i can't be that bad at using it - can i??

So questions; is it likely it's calibrated wrong, or am i doing something wrong?
Can i re-calibrate it?  I can't find anything in the manual..

Many Thanks!
