Hey guys I got a problem. I got a Unisaw last year and cleaned it up. Its a 1.5hp 220v 1975 model. It needed new bearings so I changed them with not problems. Now the problem. I got the saw back up and running but I can't get it to cut 100%. I trued my fence dead on front and back of blade but when I rip wood the blade drags the work piece on the back end of blade that I trued, like the blade is flexing in. It does the same problem with my large cross sled. My cross sled is dead 90 to the blade with 2 table runners but when the saw is running it seems to drag the back of blade as work piece is coming out. I tried 2 blades, both cut 100% on with my Jet contractor saw so its not the blade. Is my arbor bent or something?? I tried new unisaw arbor washers and blade stiffeners.
Any helping would be great cause Im going crazy!!
