hello all

can someone help got a question changed the blade on my dewalt 873 today cant gent the blade 100 percent vertical from the top to the bottom seems to run off 1 1/2 mm to 2 mm to the left and that's with the guide blocks loosened off seems to be tracking ok could this be a tension thing to much or not enough (its a 6mm blade)

cheers derek
 
Can you not just set the table to be sqare to the blade? Or am I missing something here?

I think Derek means that the blade is vertical but running out of line with the centre line of the table (correct me if I am wrong Derek)

In which case...if it is tight enough (check tension) then the table needs to be moved across. On my DW the table can be slid into allignment by loosening the table screws.

Any pictures possible?
