[QUOTE="Ttrees, post: 1537259, member: 15676"] I was guessing well for my saw anyway, it may have been twisted and not getting rigged up for the next job. I've seen a few smaller saws from overseas, with corners resembling something like those recent aldi courier accidents, but without the damage to the paint, obvious corner warped, which isn't apparent on my machine by eye, but very apparent with a small push with a finger. so pure speculation as to a manufacturer error, could have been an accident either which would explain the broken trunnion on mine. Whichever it was, the guidepost wasn't parallel, and this fooled me for some time. You'll go mad if doing stuff like this craic, waiting for lines to stop, carefully not breathing incase you knock the line. Much better to have two fixed positions and come back to it. Hopefully this will not be the case with your machine. [ATTACH type="full" alt="SAM_4180.JPG"]124852[/ATTACH] That's about all I can think of, maybe some others can help. One other little tid bit from another forum I read recently, eager to try it out sometime... A fella there reckons if you spin the wheels backwards by hand, and the blade runs off the wheels, then there is a misalignment. You could try this with a laser instead, riverbuilder has a video using one for construction, although I'm not convinced it is as sensitive as a simple beam with a block taped on the end would be... saying that, I've yet to test out the new beam I've been filing, just to be sure of things. Was afraid to ask the price of that big stanley fatmax milled on both edges 6' level, hopefully I can make do without. Just doubting the beam, before I attempt a somewhat tighter belt than the worn one. (duplicate replacement is much too tight) All the best Tom [/QUOTE]
