I recently purchased an older (probably about 12-15 yrs) Craftsman table saw, Model #315.221850, apparently a BT3000 clone (about 12-15 yrs old).
My goal is to learn how to make adjustments to the saw blade so that I get true square/90 degree cuts. Apparently the blade isn't 100% parallel. If standing if front of the blade (looking at the edge of the blade), the backside of the blade is slightly more to the left than the front, maybe 1/16th. I believe the blade is at a right angle to the table top, just skewed slightly (I guess that would be the X axis). I haven't been able to locate a user's manual by looking for a Craftsman nor Roybi.
Can anyone point me to a downloadable user's manual or explain how to adjust the blade to make it square and true?
Thanks in advance,
jd
