The blade on my contractor saw is parallel to the miter slots when the
blade
is at 90 degrees, but gets off when the blade is tilted. Quite a bit by
the
time I tilt it to 45 degrees.

It's my understanding that this is caused by the trunnions not being in
the
same vertical plane and the solution is to shim the "high" trunnion.

My question is this. Is it possible the determine the "high" trunnion by
the
direction in which the blade is off? My saw (a no-name Taiwanese clone)
is a
right tilt and the back of the blade is further to the right than the
front
when it it tilted.

Perennial question, probably can google for a web site. Has to do with
those two rails that hold your motor mount not being coplanar. Get them
right with a good flat board and perform the trunnion check.
