Well, how many bolts hold the trunnion in place? I'm betting it's not
just two... Tom

Hello all,
on my Delta table saw 36-979 it offers the following advice for
aligning the miter slots to the blade.


On page 24 of the delta manual for table saw model 36-979 the
adjustment for the blade parallel to the miter slot is not working for
me.

In figure 68 it says to loosen 2 hex bolts B that hold the rear
trunnion C and pound trunnion C until the blade is centered in the
table insert. I pounded that thing for 10 minutes and it did not budge
once. The front of the blade is skewed inward slightly (1/32 to 1/16)
compared to the rear of the blade and it is nowhere near the center of
the table insert. What am I doing wrong that I cannot budge this
trunnion? Please offer help if you have had this problem before.

Thanks.

When I read those instructions, it looked to me like you should also loosen
the front trunnion bolts. Perhaps the front trunion is holding you back.
