Maui Joe Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 The saw was working good and no problems initially. Hewever after a move, the blade is to long when i put it in. When I turn the saw on, the blade gets bent up as if it is too long. i will try realigning the arm with the table but it looks ok at measuring the distance from the table to the arm. Any thoughts as to what i might do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Welcome to the Village!! I'm assuming you're talking about a newer model Jet saw? They made some old saws that I would have no clue on.. send the model number of the saw and maybe someone can give some ideas to look at.

OCtoolguy Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Sounds like your upper arm may have moved up and it's now too wide at the blade mounting area. If I'm not mistaken they are like the Pegas/Excalibur design. That upper arm has to be parallel to the table so that the blade opening remains the same.

kmmcrafts Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Doesn't the newer style Jet saws have a tension adjustment via the tension lever? Like turn it clockwise for a bit more tension and counter clock for less tension? Maybe that got turned several turns and got it out of whack? BUT as I said Jet made a few different saws over the years so without knowing the model I don't know for sure.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberta Moreton Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 I believe they both have to have the arm parallel to the table. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garyrenee Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 I was just curious. I’m always interested in things that don’t work correctly so I can find the cause and ultimately the solution. It’s always nice to have everything working as it should bbbuuuttt it’s even nicer to be able to fix it whenever it doesn’t.
