  2. Welcome to the village neighbor lol we are neighbors I'm from Cleveland... just take your time... who ever said "slow and steady wins the race" they must have been a scrollsawer I found that if you rush through a project you won't be happy with it or you will mess it up and break more blades ...I find the pattern I want then I look at the wood to see the best place to position the pattern ... then cut ,cut ,cut ... ...God bless ,Dennis
  3. thanks to everybody for their help ... Pete I think that is what my problem is the table isn't square with the table my blade is out of square when it is not turned on again thanks to all and God Bless
  4. I have a dewalt dw788... I recently was working on a project the wood stock was 1" thick and I noticed that the cuts were slightly cone shaped ...I checked my table for squareness side to side and it was square... I checked the squareness from front to back and it was out of square ... the bottom of the blade slightly back or the top went slightly forward unsure of which is there an adjustment I can make either in the saw or the table to correct this any help will be appreciated
  5. I bought a momentary footswitch from "Harbor Freight" that my dewalt plugs into one of the best decisions on my shop thinking about buying one for my drill press ....you should be able to look up a wiring diagram for wiring colors in general on a UK website
