My blade is off at least a 1/8 of an inch. I have the manual so it tells me what to do but silly me doesnt know which part of the saw is the head. Is it the back part where the motor is or is it underneath the table where the parts are that I have to loosen then move the head? Can't believe I don't know but I don't ha.

Do you mean that the blade is off center or that the blade moves side to side 1/8 as it cuts?Rolf

karen,
if your blade is off side to side i would adjust the screws on the left side that touch the blade on the left sides, move them in so they are just past flush with the 'head' part that the blade is in that the knobs tighten down on. if it is still moving side to side just adjust one screw in or out till it is moving straight up and down.
this is all assuming your talking the blade moves left to right as your sitting in front of the saw?Last edited by Northerner; 01-14-2012, 12:18 PM.

i ended up loosening the trunions they told me to and then went to the back of the saw and held onto the back part of the machine where the motor sits on the side then that whole piece wraps around and goes under the saw. well i moved that slowly nd the machine tilted a bit making the blade straight when looking at it from the side. so I think I am set. thanks

Usually if the blade is moving side to side a bit its because the set screws on the left side of both clamps need to be adjusted. If they aren't set correctly, your blade will not be in the same position in the top and bottom clamp causing your blade to be at a slight angle.

Reply to YoraHome Laser w/CNC Engraver/Routerby evilbadgerYes I'm still using the one I built I did some upgrades to it though. I swapped out the pipes for linear motion rails and made the gantry out of aluminum. I guess if I were to upgrade now I would be looking for a full size machine that could do 4x8 sheets of plywood with an automatic tool changer but...

And I have used it over the years. A couple of months ago, While I was contemplating cleaning, I looked at the machine and decided to finish...
