Hello Members,
A while back I had purchased a used BT3K (older model) which had a shim problem. I ordered the front shims and received what I think are the Bt3100 shims (wavy shims instead of flat shims). I thought these shims will fit but looks like I may have to modify the slide or get the straight shims.
I have tried to put back together the motor, slide and the saw without any shims (I am not going to make too much use of this saw as it is a back-up) but unfortunately the saw seems to vibrate at high speed.
Is the saw needing to be leveled?
OR
Is there something else I have done wrong?
Now if I take the saw apart I know how to put back together again.
Thanks for all your help thus far.
