Thread: table saw adjustments

Hi everyone.

I am pretty fussy with my table saw being aligned properly.

I went and checked my saw today and found the blade run-out (I think thats what you call it) is 0.008". Is that a bit too much?
What I call blade runout is the amount the blade wobbles side to side during 1 rotation.
ie the blade is not perfectly flat.
I checked the arbour with my dial gauge and its good.

The mitre slot to blade distance is 0.001" front to back of blade (same tooth). I dare not try move it to get it perfect.

Fence is spot on too.

I have an incra mitre gauge which is perfectly square too but I am still having problems cross cutting perfectly square.
I have to admit it is not out by much but sometimes it can be noticeable especially when doing joints.
