Just checked. Blades are level with the outfeed table. That is, if I
place the two pieces of teak on the rear bed, the cutters barely touch
the teak. Ditto if I raise the infeed table level with the outfeed
table. When the pieces lay across both beds, the cutters barely
touch them.

The 2030 is quite old, and has been dead on until this year. (An
exception noted below).

Yes. I use a 6' straight edge. When I lay it on the tables, the
straightedge is flush with the whole length of the outfeed table. It
contacts the cutter end of the infeed table and a 1/32' gap shows at
the other end of the infeed table.

Makita 2030n Manual
Can't find the bolts - nor do I see them in the manual (2030N).
>How about a picture?
I don't think the gap will show.
I'm thinking it might be a temperature problem. I now recall having
the same issue last Winter when I once tried to use it in my unheated
garage. During the following Summer there was no problem. This year
my garage is heated and I'm now in there often. Since I only have the
heat on during the day, the machine (which is a big chunk of metal
subject to heating/cooling effects) may not warm up enough. We have
some warm weather on the way to check my theory.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
