Suggestion: go to www.owwm.org and look in the BYOD section for woodworking
- this is a group that specializes in older wood working tools, not the
complete junk that is sold to people that don't know better by the big box
stores. I have sold a Rockwell Unisaw for far less than the usless saw you
bought cost. You can get a decent saw with a cast iron top for as little
as $10 if you look around. Don't settle for stamped out garbage that is
barely suitable for cutting framing lumber.

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
