Wondering if I might be able to get a little guidance. My DW788 tends to rub against the table to the far back left corner. I know if I apply less pressure the blade will not drift. The tension is stong enough to a high pitched pluck. The set screw is centered, as a matter of fact I have moved it to the right in order to compensate. Any idea of what it might be since at this point it is shaving little by little at my table. Just wondering if it is something wrong with my flawless 788 or is it me. Thanks everyone who might know what is happening.

Can you adjust your table? It sounds like the table may be off center a little. I'd loosen the trunions and try to move the table slightly to get the blade in the center of the cutting hole."Still Montana Mike"

Reply to Eagleby Sandy OaksI agree, a beautiful piece and wonderful cutting. Years ago, my father had Alzheimer. The last six months we had him in the VA center in St. Cloud MN. His wood work shop is still in MN. I could not take it down to TN....

Reply to Spiral Blades - Tips & Tricks?by JimernThe best tip I have with spirals is to cut straight lines backwards. instead of pushing the work piece into the blade, pull it toward you. Seems to allow for better control on straight lines (most other lines too)
