Help please: Paulcall Radial Arm Saw blade alignment & user manual
G'day everyone,
I recently acquired a Paulcall radial arm saw (12" model) in good condition. I look forward to setting it up and using it. However, I am in need of some advice/help:
First issue: blade alignment.
A couple days ago I purchased a brand-new Diablo blade for the RAS. When I fitted the blade onto the saw, I noticed that the blade had a slight 'wobble' in it when I rotated the arbour by hand. I determined the blade to wobble ~0.25mm. What could be causing this wobble? My guess is that it's either the spindle being out of alignment or that the 'flange things' that clamp either side of the blade could be out... How can I fix this? Can it be fixed?
Second issue: user manual.
I have surfed the internet far and wide in search of a Paulcall RAS user manual, with no luck. The main reason I'd like a copy is so I can follow the instructions for how to adjust/calibrate the blade and radial arm (once I resolve the blade wobble issue). I'd greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction for finding a manual or share a scanned copy with me.
Thanks, and I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
Cheers,
