Straight cuts?

[parthianshot]

Someone must have the answer.
I've owned a Mk3 which I bought when living in NZ in the early '90's.
Im back in the UK now, but still using it and very happy, however there's one problem that I've never been able to cure, and now I need to as the accuracy of my next project is vital.

When cross cutting, the back of the blade cuts in slightly and takes off a slither more.

I've tried the following.
A new blade (recommended and supplied by the dealer)
Adjusting the angle of the blade.
Reconstructing the whole table from scratch.

Nothing works satisfactoraly. The Operating manual does cover this problem and suggests it's the saw, but I can't find any slump or issue there. (it's a Ryobi W810).

Anyone able to advise?

parthianshot, sounds like you may need to re-adjust the saw in the cradle,

loosen off the holding bolts and with the saw in the Table saw mode, use a combination square to help align the blade.

Place the combination square in one of the guide slots which run along the table ( I THINK MK 3 has them).

measure from a tooth at the "front" of the blade, then rotate the blade so the same tooth is now at the "back" of the blade.

Measure and adjust as required.

Re-tighten the holding bolts and test cut.

Hope this helps some.

I will try that first.
Someone else has suggested I need the stabiliser kit, so that gives me a 2nd option.

Thanks
