Hi all. My dewalt 125 RAS has outfoxed me. I have had it for 20 years at least and know all the adjustments: but it has started to not cut square to the bed.... but only for the first 1 and 1/2 inches of the cut. I'm cutting 8x2 inch sepele, 90cross cut. The cuts appear square to the fence, but for the first 1 and a half inches from the fence, ( ie the start of the cut), the top of the cut leans to the right.( ie not square to the bed).. thereafter its square in all directions. I can move the fence forward or back 3 or 4 inches but the "lean" remains in the first 1.5 inches. So its not the arm, its not the bed. The blade is a new neg rake metabo. All static measurements show perfect squareness along the length of the arm. An old blade produced the same results. Its not much less than a mill but that shows with floating tennons.
Any ideas. Its driving me mad!
Ps cant feel any play adjusted roller bearings etc.
