Wobble Wobble



Kris's tip of the day......






Have you ever wondered why you high end saw blades don't give you a quality cut on your table saw?

More than likely your blade is heeling (not aligned with your miter gauge slot) . I find that the best way to check this is with the miter gauge. First make sure there is no slop in the miter gauge, some gauges have adjustments. With older miter gauges you can use a center punch to ping out the bar, this will take out the slop in the miter gauge. After that cross cut 2'' material on both left and right sides of the blade. this will determine which way the blade is out, adjust the saw and you should be golden.
