I have a Craftsman 10" CMS, and it doesn't cut accurately. When it is off and I lower the blade, it appears to be square to the fence. I checked it at
45 deg with a speed square and the blade was at 45 deg. However when I actually cut something, the cut is a few degrees off. The throat plate slot also now looks like a V.It has done this ever since I owned it, but when I first started using it I primarily used it for rough cutting so I didn't really care. Now that I am getting more involved in woodworking, it's an obvious issue.
Any advice on where to start looking for the problem?
