I'm in between projects so I thought I work on getting things in order in the shop. One thing that I have put off for awhile is addressing my table saw alignment. When I do a crosscut my cut is not square. To address this I've measured the left miter track with the blade. It is off by about .01". The far end of the blade is off to the right. I also measured the miter gauge to itself (Incra) it was dead on square at 90 degrees. After making a cut with a 6" wide piece of maple, the front end angles to the left by about a degree. I can compensate and make square cuts by moving my guage to the right a degree.
I know that I need to adjust my blade alignment to reduce the gap. The question is what is a good tolerence to shoot for? The hard part is that this is a Delta contractor saw and getting into the front trunnion bolts is kind of a pain. Hmmm, maybe it's time to upgrade!
