I need to align my saw blade to be parallel to the mitre slots and am
not certain which are the front trunion bolts. My saw has two hex nuts
(marked #36 on the spare parts diagram) which are accessible on the
top of the cast iron table ... are these the trunion bolts or are they
for some other purpose (if so what?)

thanks in advance


In addition to advice already given, if your unit has flat washers
take the front screws out one at a time and replace the washers.
Reason is, the clearance holes are larger than usual to give maximum
adjustment, and the washers form into the hole, become conical and
have memory back to the old position even after you have adjusted to
the new position. Will often slide back to the old position. Also can
happen with washer face screws, I'd replace them if your adjustment is
significant. Keep in mind, you should only have to do this once if
your saw doesn't take a significant hit.
