Is there a tricks to help align slide table with blade? Yes, I have read the Owners manual several times &amp; 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.

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

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!

Oops...I hit "enter" too soon. To install the blade, you have to retract the blade guard, pull it up and away from the blade housing as much as you can (the guard is a little flexible), then wrangle the blade in and lower the blade guard. Stupid, but true.

Take the slide out and make sure that it aligns properly. This has happened to us.

Many factors to take into question here - what is the limit of the 'board' you are using between the glides? What type support are you attaching the glides to? What kind of attachment (screws) are you using? Length of those screws? Distance between the glides?

I agree with Steve and I too am no expert, but also, try taking just 1/32 per pass and make sure the grain is going in the right direction. If it's not, it will be harder to do and the finish will be poor. Try not to put too much downward pressure on top of the blade, concentrate more on the outfeed table. There's good info on the web on how to use the jointer, and it takes a little practice. Good luck!

My wife is left handed too! But we can't find the way to turn the blades. We tried to remove the circle button on the top, but we can not do it!

Not as equipped. I constructed an auxiliary fence that holds the stock at the 45 degrees. It is actually more of an additional table rather than a fence with a strip on the bottom to be placed in the miter slide groove and then I use two small machinist clamps to hold it in place. This saw is much more stable and with far less blade wobble than any other out there. Good luck. If I can be of further assistance just ask.

I struggled with it too and gave it to my husband. He detached it easily so it isn't the blade; it was me. He thinks he might have pushed it in a little before twisting. Good luck. It really works great when it works!

No issues with sticking. Those who had problems with it sticking probably lubed the slide or never dusted it off. I had my eye on this saw for quite awhile and finally bought it. It is very tight and precise. Very pleased with this saw.

We left all the legs on loose when putting together, then tightened a little on each alternating legs. We too had a little difficulty, but did get it to align! Love this table.

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

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.

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.

I just assembled mine and rather than trying to slide it together I laid the top on the lower section, put the side away from me in the groove and pushed down on the near side. I snapped into place fairly easily. Best of luck with it.

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??
