Well, after moving, building a house with the shop left unfinished, and bypass surgery, I've finally got the shop completed to the minimum point that I could set up my saw. Decided to convert it from 110 to 220v while I was at it. Did the wiring from my new panel, rewired the motor, fired it up - ran great! Yahoo, I'm in business!:eusa_danc . Tried to run a piece of wood through, bad binding against the fence. Really looked at the blade for the first time since moving and it is visibly out of alignment. Sigh,:cry: another day with a block of wood and hammer going back and forth trying to hit it just right to get within at least 5 thousandths.
Then I remember that I purchased some PALS before I moved, but never got around to putting them on, because the saw was in alignment and I didn't want to mess with it till I had to because of the last ordeal. Rumaged through a bunch of boxes yet to be unpacked and found them.
Man, what great little devices! It took me about 20 minutes to install. Once installed I was able to align the blade dead on in less than 10 minutes. I would highly recommend these things to anyone who has a contractor saw.
