MM SC4 blade out of alignment

[Michael Koons]

I'm in the process of tuning up my MM SC4 slider and found out my blade is .028" out of parallel with the slider. The manual on the machine is pretty bad and I can't find anything that describes how to fix this. It used to be pretty straightforward on my old cabinet saw, not so much on the slider. Does anyone have any experience with fixing this?

Mike, is the blade parallel to the throatplate opening in the cast iron table? In other words, are we talking about the blade group being not aligned or the sliding table running away from the blade?

Thanks for jumping in so quickly Erik. I didn't think to measure from the fixed table, but when I did, the blade is essentially parallel (.003") to the throatplate opening. So the slider is not aligned to the blade because over a 12" span (diameter of blade) the difference is .028" on the slider side.
