You do not understand Howard, you would have to change the angle ect, and even you cannot do that well on a sawmill.  I was going to say you are probably the leading expert on fixing crappy benches,  :uhoh:  but of course that is not true and seemed a little too mean, even for me.  :snowball: all in fun!   ffsmiley
If it will make you feel better, I will take a few pics.

OK, you asked for it.  I have made prob 200 benches since these first two.  they serve as a reminder.  that is why I do not fix them.  yes, I needed better back up for the through mortices.  that is why I do not do that anymore.  the angles are more uniform with my radial drill press setup.
