Delta 10" Radial arm saw

Have a Rockwell delta , When the saw head is moved back and forth to cross cut it feels rough, I checked the bearrings and they seem fine and the 2 tracks that they ride in are smooth and clean.

Any ideas would behelpful Thank You in advance

The tension of the rollers on the tracks should be just enough to provide a slight resistance when pulling the motor without any side to side motion. It should ride very smoothly. The rollers have an off centered mounting hole to allow for the tension adjustment. If there is no side to side play, the rollers may be adjusted too tight. If there is any side to side motion, the rollers are too loose. make sure the rollers are turning and not sliding when you pull the motor along the arm.

Does it feel rough when sliding the saw head, but not cutting wood or is it just rough when cutting the wood?
