Thread: Dovetail

New to this excellent forum but an old Triton user.
Always marvelled at the ablility to get absolutely square cuts with the Triton - until last week, that is! Bought a Magswitch feather-board for the 2000 but then realised that the fence needs to be on the right of the blade to work appropriately. No worries (oh yeah?) - had problems with the riving knife as voiced by others on this site but sorted this by re-setting up the saw (Triton 235mm)(it had moved slightly over many months). In doing so noticed that one of the knobs that holds the saw on the sliding plate was not as firm as I would like - sort of stripped (Actually, I'm surprised this doesn't happen far more often). All cuts with this unsatisfactory setup have not been square - even along the face ofa rip, a straight edge along the face reveals uneveness in the cut. A cross cut in rip mode with the mitre guide was unacceptable and even altering the guide setting didn't resolve the problem. Cross cut in cross cut mode no better. Changed the original MDF fence - no better. Saw blade (Triton) buckled, I hear you ask? Tried a brand new blade - no different.
Now, I'm hoping the loose-ish knob is the fault considering the torque the saw generates. This is the story so far.... Contacting Triton tomorrow to request new knobs. Any advice in the meantime?
Somebody somewhere posted a note on permanently fixing the saw to the slide, but I can't remember where I read that - any ideas?
