`Don't know if you are wrong about the saw itself. But there are two different bases shown. Besides the labels and so forth you will note that on one base the right most leg is mounted inside the top part of the stand. On the other the leg is mounted outside of the top which would lead to wobbles. That does not say anything about the saw though. But how mane people have two bases and one saw???
if the "taper" is the same all the way around then I agree with others that the table is not at 90 degrees to the blade.. a nudge is all that it takes.
you can get a foot switch for about 10 bucks and a threeway plug for less,than 4. worth a try. That way you leave the saw switched on and plugged im so when you drpress the foot switch juice goes to whatever is plugged in to it but through separate lines.
If it is Steve's pattern does not matter. If Barbra's then it does since you cut hers at an angle to begin with. Steve's and Alexas are stacked one upon the other. the size in the diameter gives the illusion of an angle. But Barbras start with an angle cut and then are sanded on that angle to give a flat profile all the way up.
I have used Oooch Hardwoods for several years for ply and craft ready. The wood is excellent the service extraordinary. I highly recommend them over others that I have tried.
yep you can make neat bowls with the SS. Just be certain you have a lot say a bunch of lots of sandpaper or a steady cutting hand. Cutting on a slope takes time to learn but it is fun.

use 1/8 and 1/4 for backing and for items that are layered like Alex Foxes stuff. Most of the time I get 8" wide since the patterns are sized to fit computer paper. Iget most wood from ooch woods
Danish oil is a mixture of BLO and mineral spirits. The percentage varies but pretty much all it is. When I was in Europe that is what they had me finish teak tables with.
I have been using them for several years. No need to spray the wood they adhere well. depending on the brand and whether they are permenent of movable they work well. Easy to remove with "Painters Thinner". You will like them
