I have an old Craftsman tablesaw circa 1950's that I've used for years with no problems. I have a strange thing happening on cutting and I'm puzzled. If I cut from the right side of the blade ( a W.W.II , link belts, etc. ) I get a perfectly smooth cut. If I cut from the left side of the blade I get a smooth cut BUT I have a few upward ( rear teeth) burn marks on the main piece. I've checked for square, marked a tooth and checked distance from miter slot - nothing seems unusual. I obviously am missing something.
Any suggestions of what and how to check? I have a dial indicator but other than that just the usual ww tools.
The upward burn mark would lead me to believe that the rear teeth are closer than the front teeth but I just don't see it when I check.
Only thing I haven't tried - I have a new W.W.II blade. They both are thin kerf - I wonder if the older blade has somehow twisted a bit? If it has, how does one fix that - send it back to Forrest?
Thanx
