I think the fact that you R&R'd parts caused this issue.* It is not
unusual for the blade to be somewhere else after a major parts
replacement.

NOT happen.

When humans are involved in the assembly process there are issues that
can come up.* Take two off of the assembly line and see of they are
precisely identical.




Just another thought on this. He had his TS blade aligned to the fence
with a worn out bearing. A new bearing will place the blade in a new
position.

Now Derby did have a reasonable explanation but gosh, why realign the
front end on a car after replacing ball joints or tie rod ends?


I think you're on my side, but even I have to question your "new bearing
will move the blade" theory. Why?

In my case, the front bearing (good) was sandwiched between the flange
and a c-clip. The rear bearing (bad) was sandwiched between an e-clip and
a c-clip.

Since the bearings had to end up in the same position on the shaft, why
would a new bearing (either one), in and of itself, reposition the blade?



Wouldn't unless it was REALLY wallered out. - way past the popint of
being "unuseable"
