I have an odd table saw issue.
I noticed recently that many of my cuts were not square, and at the end of the cut when using a pushstick the workpiece tended to veer off track.
I checked my setup and saw thatthe riving knife was not in line with the blade, so was forcing the piece off line when the cut reache the riving knife.
I have a scheppach ts2010 and the knife is fixed to the same mechanism as the motor, with no adjustment that i can see.
I then discovered that the blade was not square to table, so was twisted and this was what had forced the back of the blade out of line.
Now the motor is connected to the pulley via two plates that are connected with 2 bolts next to the belt. The motor and the pulley are both fixed to the same central plate at the other "end". So for the pulley to be square, the pulley and the motor have to be parallel. This meant adjusting the two plates so their overlap increased, and i could visibly see the pulley spring back into square. However, then the belt is so loose i can pinch i together in the middle, and under any load at all the blades stops. The only way to tighten the belt is to move the pulley and motor apart, which given they are fixed at the other end means the blade is no longer square to the table. I ould move the table, however then the riving knife is still not in line, as its fixed to the same unit the motor / pulley, not the table top.
Rather perplexing and very annoying. Any thoughts? i guess only schedppach 2010 owners would have seen this before. Every day i am wishing more and more i had not bought this, as at 1,200 could have done so much better, however i needed something that would fit in my 4' x 8' shop at the time, and without the extensions this did....
