Hegner Issue

[bdennis]

I am having an issue with the blade on my Hegner.  It is eating into the side for the table as you can see in the pictures.  Tension is good.  But I think the issue is causing problems with the Blades.  Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this or is it a major issue.

This is a link to the troubleshooting page from Advanced Machinery. Once on the page scroll down to "Why is my blade not centered in the slot?" follow the directions.

A bit more tension and then let the saw do the cutting. Only straight ahead pressure on the wood. It looked like you are trying to steer the wood instead of just feeding the wood. And do what Wich suggested.

That looks like the blade is too low a tension or pushing too hard or both.  It looks well centered in that replaceable insert is what leads me to that conclusion.  My Hegner does not have the replaceable insert, I wish it did as I could make an incredible zero clearance insert then; but the blade isn't perfect in the slot.  Just a bit more tension and less pressure.
