Thread: help! : RYOBI ETS1526AL blade and miter gauge alignment

Sorry, I mean that the blade is not parallel with the mitre gauge slot. I checked ryobi page and it seems that the current model is BTS12S, just in case someone owns one of those I think the setup must be pretty much the same.

Ryobi Power Tools :: 10 inch Table Saw with Stand

Thank you!

I don't have one of these but check how the top is connected to the cabinet. Loosen the bolts that hold it in place and reposition the top so the slot is parallel with the blade. If the saw trunions are mounted to the top, reposition the trunion assembly (containing the blade) to suit the slot.
Just a guess on my part, hope it helps.

I still have this model saw but converted it into a urinal after a slew of problems, including this one.

Unfortunately the way the motor is attached to the table allows for absolutely no aligning. All of the bolt holes are the same size as the bolts themselves. However, from memory, I think it was possible to widen/lengthen the holes in the part of the motors' frame that attaches to the table (note: NOT the tables' holes) to give you a bit of play. I didn't bother with mine as the motor had a fit and burns everything it cuts. The whole setup vibrates and wobbles and is a sheer terror to use.

Thank you guys for your answers.
I'll try at least to loose the bolts and see if I can adjust it a bit. Being a complete beginner I didn't want to spend money, but maybe it'll become a nightmare before a can cut something decently...

I used to have an older model ryobi saw and was able to do the adjistment. The one you have looks like the table top is similar. Up under the table top the trunion and motor are bolted on. Slacken just enough so the whole assembly can be turned by tapping with a wood block or mallet to get the blade in line with the slot you run the miter in. tighten up when things are aligned. You will also then need to realign the fence. Do a google for tuneing a table saw. The principle is the same for all provided the assembly allows some adjustment. Let us know how it goes.
