Hello all! First I want to say how helpful and knowledgeable the members of this forum are for a novice woodworker like myself!
I just picked up my first table saw (Craftsman 113.xxx) off craigslist, and had a quick question. I can't seem to get the blade to go 90 degrees to the table top without the blade binding. The blade will go to about 89.5 degrees and then it feels like I'm forcing the handle to get the blade to 90. I tried to readjust it with the 90 degree set screw out and no dice.
I had a similar problem the the 45 degree tilt, but then readjusted with the set screw out and now it goes to 45 no problem and no binding of the blade.
I'm getting aggravated because I'm not quite sure what to look for to find the problem, as I'm new to table saws. The blade seems to be in good alignment to the mitre slots, I did a rudimentary check (although I need to throw a dial indicator on there to be positive) Other than that the saw seems to be in good condition. Any suggestions guys? I can get the whole model number and take any pictures if it's helpful to you guys when I get home.
Thank you!
