dansnow Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) As my son is getting used to the new DW788 that arrived today, we noticed a small issue with blade tracking. Looking from the side there is almost .060" movement in the blade from top to bottom of the stroke. On my EX I could loosen the motor mount, rotate the motor slightly, and correct the issue. Any suggestions that don't involve changing holes to slots on the arm mounts? Edited April 5, 2014 by dansnow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 If you search the topic on this forum; there is a lot of information on adjustments for the 788. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 As rjR stated, this has been posted a few times before. I think there is an adjustment. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrol681 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi Dan, I ran into the same problem/s that you did. First I had the blade tracking problem as you do, then I was told to go to Ricks scrollsaw ;post. That had me puzzled for a while because I was looking on the SSV site here. - However thanks to Doug, - he put me on to the site which is here; http://www.scrollsaws.com/ Go there, and you will find such a wealth of information that you will have to scroll down quite a bit to find the blade tracking article. You will enjoy all the information there, I think. Cheers, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
