I picked up a clean Jet 3HP cabinet saw for a great price. It all looks fine and is only about 2 years old. I really do not believe it's been worked hard.
However, I am able to grab onto the arbor flange and feel some play in the bearings. Is this normal? On my older Delta contractor saw I could feel no play. If I take hold and pull the arbor upwards I can feel a bit of play. I really have no idea how much, but it's a few thousands I'm guessing. It seems to be it should be nill.
