It is not common that the movable carriage needs to be re-squared. There may be other underlying issues that need to be resolved before attempting to re-square the movable carriage. At the front of the saw, measure the distance between the left-hand Material Conveyor in/out guide tube and the right-hand Material Conveyor in/out guide tube. Take the same measurement at the rear of the saw. The carriage is square when the two measurements are within 1/16". To re-square the movable carriage: 1.
