The problem with the fence is that there should be a gap. Technically it should be absolutely perfectly parallel, but that’s impossible in the real world, so instead the fence should point away from the blade towards the back very very slightly. This is not for straight cuts, but for safety: if the fence is even slightly angled towards the blade, you will get kickback. That means a tiny gap is intentional - but it should be less than a millimetre, just a hair.
Dude you’re really skilled!
Thanks.
