My used Unisaw came with a sled but it was off a bit. Ikve been meaning to fix it, for the last three years. Maybe someday.

Take a scrap board. Cut the longest side first. Just half a blade width, so long as the entire length is cut. Rotate 90* and cut again.
Keep going until you get back to the first side you cut. Cut it again, but this time cut off a good inch or so, so you have something to measure with your calipers.
Measure the far tip of the cut and the near tip of the cut. Far side measurement minus the near side measurement (be sure to measure as far out to the tip as you can). That will be your total error for all four sides.
Divide that by 4 to get the error for one side. Divide that by the length of the 5th cut to get the error per inch.
Now that you know the error per inch to be corrected, you just need the number of inches to correct at the fence. So measure from the pivot point of the fence (wherever you left one screw in place) to where you wish to index off of to adjust (the further away from the pivot point, the better). Make a little pencil mark on that spot.
Multiply your error per inch adjustment amount by the distance from the pivot point on the fence to the adjustment point (IOW, the number of inches to be adjusted). The resulting number will be how much you need to rotate the fence as measured at that spot you left the little pencil mark. Make a little pointed board you can clamp to the sled and use as an index point and set the movement with feeler gauges.
When you've got the fence where you want it, clamp the fence to the sled in a few spots, verify your fence is still where you want it and drill, countersink, and install a screw in a new hole on the bottom side of the sled/fence.
