I'd ...Steve, that's a difficult question. I'd say that as long as everything is working properly why mess with it! I tend to blow the built up sawdust off of the trunnion and gears and apply lubrication when I hear or feel any resistance in the raising or tilting mechanism. The most common adjustment seems to be aligning the rip fence and a cut that binds or burns would be a good indication for that. I think for me, since I move my table saw around that's what probably caused the table to be out of adjustment. I have several woodworking friends that have their tablesaw in one, dedicated space that never need to adjust them.

When is the right time that a table saw needs tuning up?Stevehttp://www.tablesawstore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336148890444001106.post-72388170504209894032012-09-15T07:11:31.814-07:002012-09-15T07:11:31.814-07:00Hi Chris, I've heard of that technique and it ...Hi Chris, I've heard of that technique and it seems to make sense. I'm guessing it's like an expression I heard from a fellow woodworker: "Ask 10 woodworkers how they sharpen and you'll get 12 answers" That's what makes our craft so enjoyable, the variety of ways we go about it to get pretty much the same results. I'm glad there's no discussion about setting the fence with a slight measurement inwards!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854594428032733260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336148890444001106.post-23962971159480051232012-09-11T14:02:50.474-07:002012-09-11T14:02:50.474-07:00Hi John
Interesting blogs.
When I set the fence ...Hi John<br /><br />Interesting blogs.<br /><br />When I set the fence on my saw I set it so there is a slight tow out of about .6mm over 600mmm. The idea being that it helps to prevent the work binding on the saw and being thrown back at you. Is this done in the US or is it just a Brit thing!?<br />Chris Tribehttp://www.christribefurniturecourses.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336148890444001106.post-47615327953745647432012-09-06T15:23:24.029-07:002012-09-06T15:23:24.029-07:00Good job, John!Good job, John!Jay Amundsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424567931403356855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336148890444001106.post-18373679917560638822012-09-06T14:45:58.156-07:002012-09-06T14:45:58.156-07:00Welcome to the 21th century, John!
