Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Well, I do know that the Chinese motor that came on my Grizzly, is poor, and is overrated. No debate on that. Whether Grizzly spec'd it or not, or blindly approved it, is irrelevant. Shame on them if

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
I don't know that Chinese made motors are necessarily poor or overrated, you just get what you pay for (sometimes less!). Remember it's the American parent company that specified the motor on

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Chinese made motors, are highly overrated. That's why I replaced it with a USA made model. The new motor I have now, doesn't get too hot to touch, even with long run times.

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Electrical equipment running at rated is often near 40c, or higher which is indeed too hot to comfortably touch. Much is rated for a 30c RISE in a 40c ambient. Jim Klessig Senior Power Systems

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Free, is a very good price! A better price than I paid for my Grizzly saw no doubt! I'm happy with it. I adjusted it when I got it, and have had to adjust the tracking a couple times, as it vibrates

Mine was free for helping a guy clean out his shop after 3 (yes , 3) giant oak trees fell on it . I don't even know what brand it is (it's kinda metallic green where it still has paint), but it cuts

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
So that's 12.7mm + 7.5mm for shaft radius = 20.2mm base to shaft AXIS yes? If so, it's slightly more than MarkK's and yours is worse at cutting through than his, so makes sense. Now to see what a

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Further to my post about measuring the spacing of the pivot shaft axis from the base - could a few people with those dark red/purple HF's measure them please? Otherwise we'd have only a sample of 1

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
I do understand what you are saying but I really don't agree. Even if the saw is 3/16 deep the angle is slight enough to not be an issue. I think mine is about 1/8" deep and I've not had an issue. In

Maybe this is just my attempt to turn lemons into lemonade, but it occurs to me that this alignment problem may have an upside.? Looking at the one photo that shows how little the blade drops down

Just measured my 3 saws per photo with a stack if feeler gauges between the pivot shaft (7.5mm radius) and the base (in the middle)? and found: Oldest saw 5.8+7.5 =13.3mm Yr2000 saw 8 +7.5 +

FYI, that apparent shoulder on the pivot shaft is a visual illusion.? I just measured it and it's the same diameter all the way across. I also measured the distance between the pivot shaft

In looking at the pictures is it possible that the eye bolts and the rods that hold the saw to the stand could be warping the saw base slightly? Leon Robinson ?? K5JLR Political Correctness is a
