I found this topic while searching for the same problem that I am having with my brand new Delta 40-694 scroll saw. My table has play in it exactly like in the video posted by Silentsoundguy. Let me add what I have found and maybe someone has a solution. With the trunion removed from the table (the issue is the same with or without the table attached), and the knob loose, the curved part of the trunion matches perfectly with the curved part of the base that it rests on. However, when I tighten the knob, the trunion raises up and creates a gap between the two curved pieces. The trunion will then pivot on the tightened bolt. Push down on the left and the gap closes on that side and opens wider on the right side, and the opposite when the right side is pushed down. It is as if the hole drilled in the base for the bolt was drilled too high, and when the knob is tightened, it lifts the whole trunion, creating the gap and allowing it to rock left and right. Does that make sense? Lowering the bolt hole is not an option for a number of reasons. Any suggestions?
