I don¡¯t doubt blade alignment relative to the fence has something do with it, but when wrestling full pieces of sheeting and/or long 2x6 on a small saw, I¡¯m not sure that there¡¯s any way to prevent the back of the blade contacting the material due to the material being fed inconsistently and wobbling on and off the fence. Two people helps, but doesn¡¯t eliminate the wobble, at least in my experience. ?
From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> on behalf of David Kumm <davekumm@...> ? Blade alignment has a lot to do with saws spitting dust forward to the operator.? It generally means the back of the blade is upcutting which should not happen.? My Bosch did not spit forward. ? I also found with my Bosch- 20 years old as well-? that clamping a 4' level to the fence helped me when ripping.? Additional fence, particularly in front of the blade helped to compensate for the small table and my tendency to cant long stock.? Dave ?
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of TJ Cornish <tj@...> ? I built two houses with a Bosch 4100 from about 2003. At the time it was the best of the normal brands ¨C the fence was awesome. This was pre-riving knife, so not as up-to-date with safety features. I am sure the new one is better. ? A couple notes later on ¨C I gave the saw to my dad who has used it sparingly. In his time, he has had the far motor bearing seize twice, requiring replacement. The good news is parts are still available. The bad news is why did this happen? And more than once? ? One general comment ¨C any table saw without good dust collection throws a huge amount of crap in your face. When I upgraded to my first cabinet saw (Sawstop ICS), I was blown away at the usability difference, because ¨C especially after getting the blade guard with dust connector ¨C I could use the saw without gagging and gasping. That was far and away the best part of upgrading for me. I could have done more with dust collection on the cabinet saw, and in hindsight I wish I did. ?
