Is this an acceptable amount of flatness for a new table saw? Sawstop CTS (imgur.com)

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

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.
