I have searched the forum and have not been able to find the info I am looking for so any help pointing me in the right direction would help.
I have a new Delta hybrid tablesaw - no not the new US built one but the previous generation. Its not bad - a definate step up from my old contrator's saw! Was a little disappointed with some of the fit.
Anyway this is my first new TS so I am unsure of what to expect and how precise everything should be so here's my question. I noticed that the saw vibrates a bit as it shuts down also getting a bit of burning on some rips of hardwood so I decided to check blade alignment. Read up on what to do - purchased a dial guage a made a jig. I found that blade was out by 5 tenths from where I started to the other side. I loosened the trunions and tried tapping them over slightly and got the difference down to 3 tenths. Seems that is the best I can get. Also laid the blade down on the table to check if it was true and it is. Is this acceptable?
Thx. in advnace for any suggestions.
