Does this look right?

My table saw has just come back from Axminster where it went back to because of an issue with the riving knife. Basically I'd pass some wood through the blade and then when it got to the riving knife it would bind up and really struggle to pass. I'd end up having to apply a lot of force to counter act the riving knife. When I looked it was obvious that the riving knife was not in line with the blade. The was probably 4 degrees out. Initially then sent me a new riving knife but that made no difference so I took some photos etc and measurements and sent them off and they asked me to send it back.

Anyway I sent it back and got it back from them on Friday. I've just started to inbox it and I can see this:

It still looks to be out compared to the blade. I've not tested it yet but it doesn't look right to me, what do you guys think?

It does look squiffy, but have you raised the blade to get a better look? By the way, mine was rubbing a little bit when I got it - it's pretty easy to adjust with two bolts, and you can even push on it to bend it into alignment

I've raised it and it certainly looks better. I would do some test cuts if I could find where I'd put the rails that hold the table and the fence! I feel like I've looked everywhere, but can't have or they would have turned up!

Well, I found my missing bits and got it all back together. Spent a good bit of time aligning everything etc. Made a few cuts and it seems to be fine! So hopefully it's all sorted.
