Default So, do I need to adjust my trunnions?

DS,
Guess I'll be the first one to say it - Are you sure that you measured
things properly? I don't have a Grizzly saw - mine is a Jet Contractor's
Saw; but even if I loosened all of the trunnion bolts and moved them as far
as they would go to one side I would only get about 1/16 to 3/32 inch of
total mis-alignment. That is as far as my trunnions will move. If you
really have 1/4 inch of mis-alignment in your saw; then I believe something
must be broken - especially if it happened suddenly.

Hi, folks,
All of a sudden my Grizzly tablesaw is all out of alignment. I've done
my best to measure the squareness of the blade to the miter slot in
the table and it seems to be WAY off--like almost 1/4 difference at
the front of the blade and the back.

I've never had to do this adjustment before, so everything I know
about it is what I've read here. The thing is, mostly people seem to
be talking about TINY adjustments, in the thousandths of an inch.

If I'm this far out of square, am I still looking at loosening the
trunnions and whacking with a hammer? Or is there something else going
on?

Thanks for any advice!

DS
