Re: [TCML] Off topic table saw question.



Matt:

I don't think you need a cabinet-grade table saw to get better-than-decent straight cuts. I have an old Craftsman, Made-in-Taiwan 10" table saw that with the proper time spent setting up & adjusting, (and using a dial gauge), cuts beautifully straight & true. But 1/8th of an inch is an awful lot. Usually, when a saw is out of alignment were speaking a a few thousands of an inch. 1/8" sounds like it's been dropped or otherwise seriously damaged. Otherwise, Bosch makes better than average equipment.

I can't tell you what to do but if I could get a refund, I think I would do so and keep looking. Perhaps that's why you got this saw at such a 'great' price?

Best of luck,

Daniel

Tom,
One thought is to check your alignment standard, and make sure it is correctly reporting an error.

Bosch is a relatively reputable name in the equipment business. but, it is still possible that you got a lemon, though. If you can't get it to align, I'd take it back to the store and exchange it for a different example.

I aquired a new job site table saw Bosch 4100 something with mount its
great for price but I'm having problems with miter alighment. Out of box
the blade was of 1/8 inch front to back which is simply unacceptable. I've followed the Instructions to align this but when I retighten the bolts it
reverts to its old cappy 1/8 inch Out of alignment.

So my question is, should I give up return the product and double up for a
proper cabinet saw, or persist and widen those factory slots to get a
perfect measure

We are taking $600 for a fine portable jobsite saw vs $1500+ for a proper cabinet saw. I need at the very least 1/32 inch ignment so ... Any experts
have an opinion?
