Aligning a Mitre Saw (bevel)
Hi folks
I have a dual bevel Bosch sliding compound mitre saw that I'm not getting straight cuts with. I've aligned the mitre and that cuts fine, but on the bevel, I can't get straight cuts through only 24mm of plywood.
I've aligned the blade to the base, (checked the base to the blade with a digital angle guide - hits 90 or 89.9) and also a speed square and a try-square. Everything looks bang on 90 degrees.
Alignment is done towards the bottom of the drop, when the blade has should have cut through the workpiece.
Any tips from you pros about how I go about getting thing aligned correctly? Could it even by my technique when cutting? Willing to try change that if so.
Cheers

I watched this guy recently when wanting to align my compound mitre
Adjusting A Miter Saw For Accurate Cuts - YouTube
In the video he says that, after all the aligning is done it can still come down to technique when raising and lowering the blade in action.
Hope this helps
Pete

Awesome, thanks Pete. I think I'll just spend an afternoon annoying my neighbours and doing a stack of test cuts to improve my technique. Hope that's all it is.
