I posted earlier about this saw I believe.
I have the saw all put together, tires crowned and new blade installed did some test cuts and I am quite happy with it.
two questions
First I bought some thrust bearings from accurate bearing, they are smooth but I think they have to much resistance to spinning, the one I took off and cleaned I can spin with finger and it keeps spinning, new ones stop as soon as I let off. also there are sparks where the blade contacts the thrust bearing, and even under a heavy cut it spins but only slowly. If these are the wrong style bearings does anyone have a link to the correct ones?
Second, if I adjust the guides close to the table then raise guides all the way up there is about a 3/32 gap between thrust bearing and blade. Does this mean I need to move the wheels in or out? or is there some other adjustment?
