The blade height adjustment on my BT3100 gradually got more difficult until it wouldn't move at all. I disassembled the saw, expecting to find broken shims. Instead, I found that the shims were all there and in good shape. The problem is that the guide holder fits so snugly in the locker bracket that it can't move. I had to force the guide holder off - it's extremely tight. I cleaned the shims and the mating surfaces, but with the shims in place I would have to force the guide holder back on. There's no way this thing is going to move right now.
What could have happened? The height adjustment used to work. Is the guide holder supposed to fit so tightly and I just need to lubricate it? I've read that there are supposed to be some set screws to adjust something in that area but I don't see any or where they could be.
