Doesn't seem flat enough to me. I've always heard the tablesaw is the flattest surface in your shop. Is this okay?

I have already contacted SawStop. Waiting to hear back.

The diagonal table flatness spec for the Sawstop Jobsite Pro is 0.033 inches. (The CTS doesn't have a specified flatness on the Sawstop site.) The gauges in your pictures are 0.015.

So yes, that is normal. Yours is twice as flat as the specified tolerance for a model that is twice the price.

Thanks very much for that info.
