Yes it is, and I would appreciate it. OTOH, it might be useful to others

I agree with Larry, a repost would help others (like me) who have this
problem with their contractor saw.


I got mine fixed. I decided to shim the front trunnion down a lot (1/16") so
I'd be sure if it was moving things in the right direction. Turns out it was
exactly what I needed. A whole 1/16" of an inch! Sheesh! I've had the saw
at least 15 years. It had been a while since I tilted the blade, but it
wasn't over a few years ago. And it was OK then. I wonder what put it out
of alignment? Oh, well, the problem's fixed so I won't worry about the whys
of it.

But I, and apparently at least one other, would still like to see the article.

Possible answer, but it seems kind of old results of a google groups
search for the phrase trunnion alignment in rec woodworking, first
result, watch the wrap.
