Bob, to carry your question one step further consider a home made fence with 2 sliding faces on it. Now it is possible that the 2 faces dont align properly. The fence I built was like this. When making my first trial pass using the fence my wood caught on the outfeed side. Perhaps the main fence warped a bit, maybe one of the faces? More likely when I set my inserts into the sliding faces they were off a tiny bit. With a good light source and a known good straight edge it is possible to shim behind the sliding faces so they are even. Once you have made this adjustment you are "in like Flint". There are pictures of the front and back of one of my fences in the thread: "To buy or build". Fence plan by Shopnotes. Hardware from Rockler.
