I have a relatively old Bridgewood cabinet saw (model CW10) that has problems. The blade has begun to wobble during cuts. It runs true when it isn't under load, but while cutting it will begin to visibly wobble which needless to say is also quite visible in the cut. The arbor bearings are tight and I can't find any loose brackets. In fact, both the arbor bearings and motor are relatively new (maybe 5 years). The only slop I can find is in both the worm gears for adjusting blade height and blade angle. I can grab the whole motor/arbor assembly and wiggle more than a 1/16" in any direction. Sticking my head inside the cabinet I can't see any way of adjusting the fit to take up the slop between the worm gear and the teeth on the arbor bracket and the front trunion. Everything seems to be fixed relative to one another. I guess that means I need new parts? Any ideas on who may carry them?
thanks,
Mark
