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

When I purchased my first woodworking equipment, I was thinking much more like an engineer than a craftsman. I pretty quickly found that wood is a fairly forgiving material, and being off by a few thousandths on a table saw isn’t usually a big deal. But, it depends on what you’re building and what other tools you have.
