    Sliding Table Problem

    I'm not sure how to describe this but I think there's something wrong with my sliding mitre table assembly.

    I'll get it set up and and as I push a piece of wood through, the sliding section rocks a bit. Not up and down but rather side to side which makes for some horribly inaccurate cuts. It used to slide smooth and stright but now, if I push on it forward it seems to rock slightly clockwise as looking down on the table.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    See page 34 in this link http://www.bt3central.com/articles/files/Manual.pdf

    The right front screw is not an eccentric item "R" in the drawing; you remove slack or side to side play in the table by tightening the left screw also "R"

        OK...I found it...thanks again! In the event I should need to replace parts, can you recommend where? I understand that many of the parts are getting hard to find.

            The BT3 FAQ linked below at the bottom of my sig line has sources for the BT3 replacement parts.
