Thanks for the link Malcolm, more handy info. I didnt get into the workshop today, but hopefully I'll get things sorted this week with all the advice from above. Thanks guys, appreciate it Robb

Bean, first job tomorrow I'll get a straight edge on the fence, hadn't considered a bow, just checked both ends were on the mitre slot, with a 1mm slope away from the blade at the far end. Rich, the trunnion is kind of where I am now at. I stood and looked at the saw this evening and wondered...

Hi Bean, agree re blade deflection. I 'think' I managed to eliminate it from my calculations though. Not sure. The blade has a deflection of 0.004 in total (-0.001 to 0.003) which, from what I have read in my handy table saw book, seems acceptable. I followed a rather fiddly process (fiddly...

Hi guys I've just been tuning my table saw up (its been a while!) and have realised that I have 0.3mm (0.015") inaccuracy between the blade and the mitre slot (i.e. the blade is not 100% aligned to the mitre slot. What is too much? What would you accept on your saw? Just interested :) I've...

PM sent Bob. Its a kind offer, but I dont want to put you out. I've seen them in the US, so I'll see if someone will send some over to me. If anyone wants to upgrade their Xcalibur saw pulleys to machined steel ones, let me know and I'll order a few at the same time. Rob

Hi Bob I need to check my model numbers, but its the contractor style saw that xcalibur do. It's a different looking model now as I bought it 4 years ago. Not sure of the number, I'll check back to posts from a few years ago and see. I knew more about it then as I was researching it :) Motor...

Hi Matt, cheers for the response, as you suggest I had found the xcalibur threads (I was part of them all those years ago!) and I took the advice then to move to the new link belt, its fantastic. The problem is that over the last couple of years the pulley on the motor has twisted (its only a...

Hi guys. I notice a few of the members here have xcalibur saws, I have an 803 tilting arbor saw. The pulley has failed for the second time and I wondered if anyone had replaced theirs with machined steel pulleys and if so I wondered where I might get them from. All help very welcome :) Rob
