Default Is my tablesaw getting old? -Black and Decker

Gotta agree. My experience with B&D table saws is something I would
rather forget. They like to make "homeowner" stuff- not suitabl;e for
anyone other than a once a year owner.

A decent table saw cut should be straight as an arrow. I'm usually the last one
to tell people to replace old tools, but B&D never made a useful stationary
tool as far as I know. Time for a saw upgrade.

I am trying to make a nice square cut from my old
tablesaw. I like to make a flat square cut from a piece of
1 x 6 foot board as flat as possible. I'm cutting the 1
foot end. But what I'm getting is wobbly curve looking
from a perspective view. Don't know how to describe it
but the 1 foot cut resembles an airplane propeller blade
and makes joining wood with biscuits impossible.

If this is normal for table saw, then I don't mind getting
an edge planer. If the cause is my old tablesaw, I'll just
upgrade. Question: Do all table saw do this, or just only
the cheap ones?

TIA, Tibur
