After hours of calibrating the Mitre saw and almost losing my mind over it, it is done.
No wonder I struggled with this saw. The calibration was maxed out and I had to file the elongated holes in the fence longer to actually get it true. Plus, aligning the blade to the slot first was a real hassle. Eventually made a spacer with good result.
Then it checked out at 90° but not at 45° until I realized this red square had a problem too. You can probably spot it!
@ubo Ah, I haven't advanced that far yet, but I do have two types of square to choose from, a square one and a slightly off one that sometimes fits better! 😁
@yngmar I know the pain. After a long time, I finally bought two new sqares some weeks ago. A machinist square, and a carpenter square. The first one is extremely precise, not cheap, but by far not as expensive as precise and durable woodworking square. And the second one is good too.
@ubo My problem today (well, one of them) was this little red aluminium thing. It's actually quite acurate. The 45° side too. But if you put the diagonal against a flat surface, the inner tips of the square lifted it off the surface!
This was maddening until I spotted it and filed the tips off so it would lay flat. Suddenly my calibration worked at 45° too. Argh :blobcattableflip:
