Thread: saw adjustment

  1. #1

    Post saw adjustment

    My Triton consistently produces rip cuts that are very slightly concave along the cut edge. As far as I can determine the saw blade is parallel to the fence and the edge of the timber running along the fence is straight.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    G'day Kevan
    Have you checked to see if the fence is straight?
    Cheers

    Everything bring set up square...have alook at the table top itself..Drop the blade below the top and put a straight edge across the blade slot at 90 deg.
    Now look at the gap between the edge and tabletop!!!
    Fix it or live with it - or sell it.
    Good luck

    By any chance would your sawblade be damaged ? If you have another blade, or can get your hands on one, give it a shot.

    Also, check that your riving knife is reasonably parallel with the sawblade, and that it is thinner than the kerf of your sawblade. Get a couple of straightedges and sandwich the sawblade and riving knife between them, making sure the straightedges contact the teeth of the sawblade fore and aft. There should be a gap between each edge of the straightedges and the riving knife, if there isn't then the knife will foul on your material as it passes through on the cut.

    HTH,

    Justin.
