Is there a tricks to help align slide table with blade?Yes, I have read the Owners manual several times & spend a good part of 2 days already.

I agree with Gordon...the saw I purchased went together perfect and the performance was as well. Only thing I can think of is that it was damaged at manufacture or while being shipped. What size tile are you working with and how far out is the cut?. You might call Bosch and see what info they have for you. I am very pleased with the saw, it is built very well..only thing I thought was unnecessary is the plastic splatter guards, useless and only get in the way.Also....for those of you who don't like the available stands for this saw I have an option. I also purchased the Bosch Easy Up and with some inistrute, metric bolts made one killer saw/ stand combo.

Not sure why you're having a problem as the slide table can only fit in one way on the rollers and there is very little adjustment for exact alignment. Just make sure you do not have the stop in place until the slide table is on the rollers then you can tighten the stop onto the slide and you should be good to go.Hope this helps and I haven't insulted your mechanical skills, as I can't see your exact problem I'm generalizing.Good luck, Great saw you'll love it once you have it put together.

Check the alignment of the slides, both parts, to make sure they are parallel and installed at the same position on each side of the drawer. Another possibility is the slide movement is being impeded by the head of a screw.

Jack: I have my table saw mounted on a Hi-Lo folding stand (Porter Cable stand, I think). I made a base for the Steel City planer out of 3/4" plywood and put two 3/4" runners under it which exactly match the miter slots in the table saw top. I then just place the planer on top of the saw (in it's low position) and the runners and weight of the planer hold it very stable. I like this combo, since I'm able to remove and stow it when not in use (I have s small shop!). I saw the other comment and it appears mine was not the first to be used this way! I run 6' and 8' boards through without issue. Bill Jack: I have my table saw mounted on a Hi-Lo folding stand (Porter Cable stand, I think).

See reviews, I return 2 of them: (1) blade not 90 degree/cannot adjust as stops near 88-89 and (2) return was miter slot off 1/4inch parallel to blade. Think Rockwell is not fixing and sending out same crap for some sucker to buy. As for fence, I don't think so but never got that far as I returned them both. Good luck

I am so glad I saw your question as I have the same issue. I could only use the slide if it will empty to the right. Have you found out if a right side one is available or if this one can be modified? Thanks

I really don't know what to tell you. Make sure the end lever is in the up position, pull the left slider back, the forward against the wood edge, and then push the right lever down. That's what I do and it has worked every time. Duncd

Unless my saw if different, the holes do NOT line up side to side....the front holes are exactly 14 inches apart whereas the rear are 16 inches, therefore do NOT fit my table like my old one did, but yes, same front to back. What's up with that??

Hi, I have never had a problem with mine, but on each end there may be a clip that if you put your fingernail under the far end and pull out it will release.Other than that, Other than that, I can only suggest that there is a strong détente that can be overcome by pulling on it with a little more force. It may be that you will have to remove it and inspect the slides and make sure that they are truly free and work back and forth. I think it is possible that if there was a little misalignment when it was installed that it might be hard to slide the drawer back and forth. It may be necessary to fill and redrill a hole or two to correct alignment. Hope this helps you, Kathy. Peace.

Yes it is. There are 4 set screws on the hinge side of the infeed table. The process is extremely time consuming, depending on the level of resolution desired. Since the adjustments are made with the table up, you have to close down the table and test your adjustment each time you move a screw. It took me hours. It is the only combo unit or jointer I have ever had, so I don't know how other units compare. I assume separate tools would be easier to align. Download the manual and read pages 12-13.

The rear sight takes fitting. Take your time! I used knife sharpening stones, take a little off the bottom only, try to install and repeat. You want them to be a tight fit. For the front sight there is a tiny screw compared with stock, Use tweezers to position the screw in the slide and use finger to push firmly into hole. Now you can thread a couple of turns using the sight itself. After simply use a 5mm nut driver and blue locktite to tighten. Done!

On the units I purchased the sections did not separate. There are access holes on the inner slide bar that have to be lined up with holes in the outer bar. It was a little tricky to line up. I was making a large drawer with a 3/4" plywood bottom. I had to cut some shallow reliefs in the plywood to get the flathead screws through the inner slide access hole and into the outer slide hole. Hope that makes sense.

All I can say is that the blades should move end to end not back and forth/side to side. I have not had this problem/issue so I cannot say for sure what to or not to do. Good luck.

Sorry - I don't know how to fix this. Mine is not bent but rarely will flip up and lock the slide back - are you sure it's not just flipped up? It's easy to do when you are pulling the slide back because it takes so much force to pull it back. Sorry I can't be more help!

There must be a way to tighten it. My saw is working well still. It got knocked down by a large wind gust, and broke the table. Jet sent me replacement parts. It seamed like it lost cutting power. It turned out that I had the belt too loose. A little tightening, and everything works like new. Open the white cover that covers the blade pulley. That should let you see if their is some bolts to tighten down the guide assembly. My saw is in my classroom, and I am off for summer, or I would go look. Here is a schematic of the saw. Copy it and then magnify it so you can see the assembly. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/jet-jwbs10os-707200-10inch-band-saw-parts-c-32652_32684_155038.html There must be a way to tighten it.

this table has only one pair of slots for the incline at the table top. so it is not an adjustment problem.you may go for models which have many slots/inclines which would be more useful, probably little more costly

Joseph Question when the blades are fully locked onto the shaft, the blades still rattle?? Sounds like there's a gap most likely due to the head not fully screwed onto the shaft, did you receive the blade tool with your package use it to apply the broad head. If no examine the clip make sure it is in place between the head and shaft, Mine do not slip nor raddle Keep me posted I'm interested in what is creating the bouncing blades. TY

This works for me. I open the plastic case that the blades come packaged in and "dump" them flat and onto a level surface, such as my cutting table. Then what I do is to swipe away from me until one blade slides forward. Then, I put my rotary cutter directly over the hole in the blade, slide the cutter and blade to the edge of the cutting table until the underside of the blade is "free," and then turn it over and secure it. These blades are super sharp, so NEVER touch the edge of the blade itself.
